Used Cars: Salvage Title, salvage, title


Question
I am looking at a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 23,000 miles.  It is the second owner from salvage and states they are selling because they have a hard time getting dogs in and out of vehicle.  It has cruise, air, V6 and is automatic.  Would love to buy but they are asking $14,900.  What really would it be worth with a salvage title and where would I take it to be inspected before a purchase.  I am a single female and I don't want to be taken advantage of.     Thanks for your time.

Hi Laura

$14,900 asking with 23K looks good except for that nasty word SALVAGE, was it frame damage , water, hailstorm or other?

I thought I have heard all the reasons for selling a vehicle till you came along " getting dogs in and out of vehicle " I don't mean to be rude but that's a good one that will stay with me, lol

You can't put a worth on a salvage title unless you know the extend of prior damage, step one, please navigate to this link on my website  http://www.usedcartips.org/TESTDRI.html  should the Jeep still be of interest after test drive make deal subject to a body shop/mechanical inspection of your choice, ask for inspection cost, whatever the cost within reason, it's  peace of mind knowing  buying a safe reliable vehicle.

To understand a little more about salvage vehicle's navigate to this link  http://www.usedcartips.org/AUCTIONS.html  and scroll down to " should i Buy a Salvage Car " I hope my directions will help you to not being taken advantage of, should you have further questions, I will be here for you.
