So a friend is in the market for a used 2nd gen Prius, and have been noticing a huge amount of them in private sale are salvaged title, usually due to the owner not wanting to pay back registration fees and salvaging the title??
I'm a bit uninformed on the subject, so What's the downside to a salvage title, is it higher insurance rates? I've been searching and have yet to find a definitive answer. Any info appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

Hammy,
A salvage title has more to do with the cost to repair the car VS the value of the car. I don't think it has anything to do with the registration. Salvage titles are usually put on by insurance companies when cars that are damaged beyond their worth are resold. Just my $.02 and I'm probably wrong. Phatnine11 |
