Default Re: how do you purchase a good vehicle?

Salvage's aren't necessarily bad (you can get a good deal) but a couple things about them I am careful about:
1) A lot of the time people have them rebuilt with cheaper parts than were in the car in the first place.
2) Resell value goes way down. Doesn't matter how bad the wreck was or how good it was repaired. Having the title marked as salvage will severely decrease resell value.
3) Seems like people have a harder time selling them. Can't say for sure though, never tried myself.
