its that value thing that matters. especially when you go to sell it.

A salvage title is not a big deal. There are legal ways to make the salvage disappear.

My one bike was a new Hampshire salvage title. I went through the whole process in nj to get a clear title. Was pretty easy actually for me at least. To do it with a car to sell as original, not worth it. But if i buy a salvage car for 1/8 actual value, fix with another 1/8 value into it, as long as i could sell for half the normal value, i profit. But that's only people who fix and flip cars. For enthusiasts sometimes its just having a certain car and not caring what it'll sell for one day.

True but seeing Ed post as long as I have he'd never get the sentimental value for it anyway...so it's worth looking into especially if there wouldn't be any plans to sell it for a long time.

Yea, I don't think this will be an issue. Went through this with my Jeep when it was hit while parked. Was declared an obvious total loss with 1/4 panel damage on a 23 year old Jeep with 285k-ish miles, but it didn't drive any differently after the hit, and the buyback was under $400, so I bought it back and have kept on driving it, same insurance company & policy, no change to the title.
