Lots more info needed like mileage, options, etc. Salvage is going to hurt the price a lot.

Can you really use the words "salvage" and "good condition" together in the same sentence?

$1,000,000 given that you didn’t give mileage, condition, repairs, mods, etc.

Salvage title cars are like any other car. They're only worth what someone else is willing to pay. For me a Salvage Z06 in good condition is probably 5 grand tops but that's just me. Someone else may pay 10k. They are best marketed to those who want to build a race car out of them.

I would also subtract 1k right off the bat for having the wrong wheels on the car but I mean that way.

Value - maybe in the 50% range of a comparable car with no adverse history.

Salvage title has such a bad rep because it makes people think of a car that’s had an entire new front end welded on but it’s not always that. A vette gets stolen and they steal the engine out of it and abandon the rest in a Walmart parking lot with zero damage would get a salvage title. In reality that car is not the slightest bit in worse shape than the vette owned by a guy who swaps a ls6 into his ls1 vette. It’s worth the same amount of money.

I don't think many would dispute any of this. IMO though, a branded title is just that, and no, it should never carry the same value as a clear title car. I have seen theft recovery cars with virtually no damage other than maybe some torn seats get bad titles. Way it goes.

The real unfortunate part of the situation is there are plenty of cars out there that have been wrecked and have clear titles because nothing was ever reported.

If the vehicle has no actual damage, a salvage title is fraud by the state.
