Answer
Hi Rick

On average a salvage vehicle should be worth no than about 30% of what a vehicle with a clean title will sell for, but that is my thoughts as you may be asking the wrong person as i am totally against buying vehicles with branded title's.

Take  car for an independent inspection to have frame checked, if there has been any frame damage you MUST walk away from the deal.
