Salvage title, seriously wtf

[MR E30 325is]

Once you cut a diamond you lower its price.
Once you cut into a car you lower its price.

You're the one with the flawed logic. And no, a flat alone does not Salvage your car. You're just being an ass.

I am doing my best to respond to your thread with the same level of thinking that has created it. Though this is rather difficult for me, as getting my head this far up my own ass is not something I am currently capable of. I will let you know that I am trying my best, as I find it entertaining to try and comprehend the level of idiocy you operate with.

I guess I should take the advice of the wise individual who said something about not arguing with stupid people, as they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.........

Heres my perspective from a mathematical perspective.

An E30 is valued (by whomever, KBB NADA Hagerty, etc) to be worth $3,000.

This $3,000 car gets into an accident causing $1,500 in damage.

BOOM salvage. Where this $1,500 in damage is irrelevant to an insurance adjuster.

If you have a salvage car and the damage was all cosmetic, I would consider it. If the damage was structural, I would need to see how the repair was done, then it could be considered as well.

The salvage title isnt dictated by WHERE the damage was, but HOW MUCH IT WILL COST to fix it.

Take a 30+ year old car and its VERY easy to get them flagged with a salvage title

I never once stated where the damage lays makes it salvage title...but a salvage title has a lower true value. No one on here seems to understand this. Therefore my perceived rant.

Lawl, OP's logic is getting more obtuse with every post.

"Diamonds can be cut to diminish the flaws. Cars can't."

Well everyone, I guess we all better give up every repairing our cars, as no flaws in an automobile can ever be fixed/diminished! If you ever get a flat tire, you're done!!

Salvage title doesn't tell you anything about the flaws of a car. All it tells you is how the cost of the damage related to the value of the car at the time. When you could get a pretty decent E30 for $1500 or less, that didn't take a whole lot.

And, going by that logic - most "flaws" on a car can easily be repaired, just as a diamond can be re-cut.

Following the OP in this one is getting quite difficult.

OPs logic is as follows:

"There is a beautiful diamond that has a sheet of paper that says at one point in its long life something happened to it, which I do not fully understand, nor do I understand the severity of the reasoning behind the faulty note on the piece of paper. Therefore, regardless of its beauty and cleanliness, it must be sold for half price."

No, your comparison approach is horribly incorrect.

Diamonds can be cut to diminish the flaws. Cars can't. Therefore, salvage title.

Yeah, don't you know that this isn't a discuss... oh wait.

[ClassiE30]

You missed why this was started. It was to vent...

Yes. I quoted KBB as it relates to the car industry as a whole. E30s are not exempt from the car industry. The industry as a whole sees the value of a Salvage title as half of a clean title car. Period.

Ask Hagerty they will say the same. Shit, they will not insure it.

No, they are not. But it's quite obvious to most people that a car that has seen 30 trips around the sun and a couple hundred thousand miles is clearly not the same as a brand new Camry which has sustained 75% damage.
