What is a salvage vehicle worth if it was repaired?
If properly restored a repaired salvage vehicle is worth appx 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car, which is why so many shoddy sellers try and sell a salvage car without revealing it’s salvage! An $8000 clean titled car is worth appx $4800 as salvage/reconstructed. Taking 25% off as the above states is highly optimistic. Just ask your insurance company what they would pay out on your reconstructed salvage vehicle to get an idea of its ACV (actual cash value) and you’ll see that they’ll take more than 25% off! However, if you’ve done recent repair work and upgrades they will credit you for it in the event of another accident, provided you have receipts.
