Explain salvaged vehicles to me pls.
Cheap, problematic, difficult to sell.
Think flooded cars.
No most of the time it’s a car that got hit by hail and the body work totaled the car, or something like that. I’ve owned two.
It’s possible to wash a title by registering it in certain states. I think Georgia is one.
Yes I mentioned that in my other comment.
Bought a car with a clean NY title a few years ago, drove it for 4 years. Wonderful car. Sold it because I was moving overseas, buyer did a vin check, and it was salvage but washed. Wound up selling for the same amount anyways, found a buyer who didn’t care.
