Pros and Cons of Buying a Salvage Car

Buying and repairing a salvage car can be a very satisfying experience. But here are always things you should consider before diving into the salvage car world. Here are a few pros and cons of buying a salvage vehicle:

Pros:

• Lower Cost: Salvage car prices are much lower than clean-title car prices. This allows you to purchase a vehicle that you typically wouldn’t be able to afford if it were new. So if you’re looking for a good bargain, salvage vehicles are an excellent option for you. 
• Restoration Potential: During your salvage vehicle search, you’ll discover many interesting cars that have great potential. Restoring cars is in an exhilarating pastime. And after, you get bragging rights!
• Source of Parts: Salvage vehicles are often bought just for the parts! This can actually often-times be more cost effective than buying the parts individually.
• Bargain Hunting: Some salvage cars actually don’t require that much repair work. With a bit of patience, you can find a great deal that will have you on the road quickly.
• Convenience of Online Bidding: Taking the time out of your day to visit car dealerships in person isn’t usually the funnest activity. Luckily, AutoBidMaster offers an easy to navigate online platform where you can view thousands of vehicles, both locally and across the country. 

Cons:

• Repairs Can be Expensive: If you are not prepared, repair costs can add up quickly. It’s important to thoroughly read the inspection report and account for repair costs.
• Insurance Challenges: Insurance companies aren’t always willing to provide full coverage for salvage vehicles. Make sure you talk to your insurance company to inquire about this before you purchase. 
• Resale Difficulties: Think ahead to the future when you’re ready to move onto your next car. Selling your salvage vehicle may be more difficult. 
• No Warranty: This may go without saying, but it’s still important to note. Salvage vehicles do not come with warranties like new vehicles. 
• Title Complications: It’s a bit more challenging to register a salvage vehicle than it is a clean-title vehicle. Resale value will usually be less too,
