Wow, there are some real money makers on that website. Those would be good project cars to fix/flip.

Very tempting...

THe only problem is that the title will be salvaged.

good luck finding those in any junk yards....they usually go to dismantlers who strip and sell the parts. sometimes those used parts go for almost as much as retail though.

Yea...that is how the insurance companies get there money back. I had this happen with a NSX and I wasnt able to purchase the car back. I had several members of NSX Prime that wanted to buy the car. I found out that the insurance company mad more of the car then they paid me?? I got more then I paid for it and never would have imagined they would get more? Interesting how that stuff works out. My old car was rebuilt with a salvage title and is back on the streets sometimes its scary to know that these cars are back on the road.
