Fortunately, that only works with one state that I know of anymore.

a salvage car gose for 60-70% of the value, never buy flooded or rolled over car. way too many problem after it's fixed. but a salvage car is a good buy if it was in a light accident. I work in a bodyshop and I have fixed many salvage car without a problem.
