[viper1day]

Hi ALL
The car i am interested in from previous thread , is listed as title clean on ebay advert , but comes up on carfax .

not being an expert on carfax reports , the report says "SALVAGE TITLE/CERTIFICATE ISSUED , and NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE TITLE ISSUED "

I cannot see anywhere on carfax where i can get excact details of what happened to the car ???

should i leave this car alone , and file it under " if it looks to good to be true , it probably is "

thanks guys
Les

according to carfax..


A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following eleven states also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.
