Salvage title, seriously wtf

[ClassiE30]

This is where you're completely wrong. The pricing guides are set by the people who want to buy cars low and sell them high(er), not by what buyers are actually willing to pay (see: M5, E39; M3, E30).

No they're there to protect consumers from the Internet bubble.
And have agreed upon prices.

Also, it's "piqued my interest" not "peaked."

Thanks teacher!

M3 are in the 50k range and Hagerty has them down for as much. So I don't see what you're saying as third parties don't dictate price.

They most certainly do. NADA says average retail for an E30 M3 is $26,600. Every retail-worthy one I've seen sold in the past two plus years has sold for well north of that.

A 2016 savaged car that was worth 30k new has seen some shit to get that savaged title. 20k worth of repair vs 2k of repair that would get a e30 savaged make your believe the car is trash?

Some cars get savaged titles for being stolen.

Pulling "facts" out of your ass doesn't help support your argument. You should think about pulling your head out of it though.

Read up on it. Please. There is a palpable Internet bubble.

If you're talking about subprime loans on vehicles, that's a completely separate discussion. Either way, it doesn't apply to E30 M3s.

Got any links, sinsei?

Is a bubble still palpable after its poped?

I have owned a decent amount of e30s in my life, good amount have had salvage titles, and they where fine. I have also bought a clean titled e30 off here with gnarly fame damage.
title brands are a huge umbrella, if you get in a small accident and the only damage is your grill and headlight, and you have ellipsoid headlights, there is a good chance that car will be totaled because the cost of new factory headlights is so high, does that car now deserve to be crushed at a junk yard?
if the car has bad frame damage and is hacked back together i agree its not worth shit, its now a commuter car so $1000, but saying a car is garbage after its had a brand is like saying Jessica Alba isn't fuckable any more because she went though a divorce.
title brands can come from theft recovery, so if i have a one owner 40,000 mile 325is in mint shape and someone steals it, a year later i get it back in the same shape, but not it has been branded as theft recovery, its not worth as much?

does a title brand lower a value, obvious, but that red car you posted, its worth 7k IMHO, its clean and the attention to detail is great
