Salvage titles can be a can of worms and depending on what you find
after looking the car over with a fine tooth comb (and a magnet as
others have stated) and if it looks ok you should still use that in
your advantage since the vehicle is "tainted" and could never get top
dollar as this guy wants. To top it all off it's a non-numbers
matching car so I would price it at 10K tops (and that's a strech).

I'm talking to a local guy about buying his 69' convert for a daily
driver. It looks fairly clean, stock 350, auto, TA hood and spoiler,
blue interior, primered white exterior. Says he has it in storage so
it may need a little work to get it rolling. Asking price is $15k.
Seems high to me. I was thinking around $12k tops and then he told
me it has a salvage title and that he was told it was a theft
recovery with engine and trans stolen, i.e. not matching #'s
anymore. He's offered the VIN# so I assume everything is a go for
registering it. Q: How much does a car's value drop when it has a
salvage title?
Thanks,
Sheen
