Opinions on this "Salvage" titled car?
I am curious how much this car will sell forwith a "salvage" title.
https://www.auctionexport.com/en/Inv...ID=-1887527521
Not sure what all the issues with it are, but the ad states:
PrimaryDamage:ELECTRICAL
SecondaryDamage:REPOSSESSION
It appears that the rear windows will not go up, the top does not latch, and someone has been messing in the fuse box between the rear seats.
What do you think about this car?

I did see that, however I do not think that is the case. Most states including SC have a salvage or rebuilt title for this type of car.

I just assumed the "Salvage" title, however another site I saw it advertised on said SC may give it a "Salvage" title.

On further investigation, this site is showing it has a "Clear" SC title...

If I don't end up buying this car I'm pretty sure it is going to turn up for sale on Auto-trader or such within a few months with an asking price around $40K.
Oh, well at least I'll record the VIN here for reference... SAJWA4EC5EMB54001

As well I believe this car has a "Clear" SC title, so no worries at all about registration in any area.
I was not the high bidder, but it looks like it got to ~$26K + auction fees, which would make it at about $27K + taxes.
I do think this car will show up on Autotrader or Cars.com in the next few months, and probably with an asking price of over $40K.
IMHO it was well bought @$27K, with the low miles and seemingly minor problems (but without having a PPI who knows what else may be problematic with it.)

Yes, and export only to countries outside North America (although if you look at the list of possible countries to which this car can be exported, while export to Canada is not possible, it seems that Mexico IS a possibility). Canada and the US have roughly similar vehicle legislation...and for some reason this particular car is ineligible. My vote is still for water damage, given the mention of electrical deficits with no body damage.

Buy it, the insurance company does not want it, the owner let it get repossessed, the folks in the auto industry are auctioning it off and dont think its worth fixing, you have not inspected it and the damage is not visible, the govt does not want it sold anywhere in this continent where it could make its way back.
What could possibly go wrong, I say the risk is very low for the right sucker.
