I don carry discussion come here

The title of your car says salvage . Your car was bought at cheap cos of its tittle . .there is a reason it was written off and sold cheap to you. .if you where confident you would post VIN . If it was just a brush the insurance company would fix it and return back to the owner . It won't be a total loss . I can tell you %299 your car for sale has structural damage hence total write off . Ones you can't see cos you are not trained to.there is no way they will write off this car with such minimal damage . Unless ur Airbags pop and in this case Nop . In all .you are still not sincere

valarinz:
Ok, like I said, the commodity lacking in your quest was 'time'

You obviously didn't have enough spare time to burn on searching for something that's not going to yield u any tangible dividend.

Volvo S40's are actually not that Much around, with the right search parameters you'll get what u want. If you can't find cars that are sold, how did someone else find them on same site?

Sorry to say, but everything you have typed here is absolutely wrong. You’re clearly misinformed, and it’s only right to try and set things straight so you don’t misinform or mislead others as well.

Have you ever heard of insurance fraud ? A lot of cars that get auctioned have actually never been in any accident , or had any actual damage. And YES, body parts do get removed deliberately on lots of these cars.

In many cases, a cars title means nothing. I have seen cars without ANY damage at all, labeled as ‘destruction, non-repairable, junk, bio-hazard, salvage’ bla bla

Like I said sometime ago, this car business is not always in black and white, and while I am all for ‘full disclosure’ and all what not, let’s call a spade a spade. Nigeria is NOT the only country where folks are dishonest.

Now, to further buttress my point, can you kindly tell me why this pathfinder which only had a dent on the trunk, was labeled ‘Certificate of destruction’ ?

elshanAutos:
@eriko2k2 You have only served to prove me right even further. Now, kindly listen carefully, will you ?

* The USA is made up of 50 states, which are all largely independent (confederating units) This means that, a law which applies in NC will NOT apply in Ohio (for example). Now, this goes for car titles as well. The pathfinder I posted above, has a Certificate of destruction simply because it’s in Florida. That’s all.

* Vehicle titles defer from state to state. VA calls theirs ‘Non repairable titles’ NY does NOT issue salvage titles, they call theirs ‘NY-MV907A’, Wisconsin call theirs ‘junking certificates’ and so on and so forth..

* If that pathfinder was in a diff state, it would NOT have a certificate of destruction most likely. Now, that pathfinder is a 2002 model with 177k miles actual, and the vehicle is available for sale in Lagos and it does not have a single issue, just the dent on trunk, which was fixed. I mean, copart claimed the vehicles primary damage was ‘front end’ but I’m sure you can see the real damage for yourself.

* You claim vehicles are issued certificate of destruction when it is certified dismantled, scrapped or whatever. And I say again, does that Pathfinder look like it has been dismantled ?

* When it comes to cars and auctions, these things vary, and there’s no rule of thumb to go by.
The best and foolproof way to verify ANY car is by physical inspection by a professional who knows what to look out for. Not vehicle titles and all what not..

cc egunmogaji you are experienced with these sort of things, pls shed more light.

I don't do salvaged vehicles personally but I guess if it's fully disclosed and repaired properly then it might be okay. It is my opinion that there are enough clean good one owner vehicles that it makes salvaged vehicles unappealing to me.

Good luck.

Of all the cheap one owner vehicles in the US, why are you guys fixated on these salvaged dangerous junks?

I’m not specifically talking about all of that. I am simply talking about vehicles and their titles and trying to shed more light on what it means. But I guess you’re just trying to troll. Have a nice day!

@egunmogaji well said, thanks for your input!

@erico2k2 I am not here to go back & forth with you. I only weighed in because you said you’re over 200% sure the Volvo s40 advertised here with a ‘salvage title’ has structural damage, which are false claims, as you did not inspect the car, neither did you verify anything about it.

I believe my points are crystal clear and as such, I’m done here, have a nice day all! And happy sales @OP.

We all have our fields of expertise, and this field is certainly not yours as you have proven over and over again.

Plz read the updated reply I gave up there
@EgunMogaji I greet you .

EgunMogaji:
I take your greeting and pass over a cup of palmy to you.

Listening to your people right now, Late Rex Lawson. Nigeria has lost lots of good people. He died in a car crash too. #Sad.

thebigkendo:
Bros believe me we all know/understand what you are talking about, Oga Ericko2k2 is in "Obodo oyibo" So he reasons like them oyibo(No Insult intended) even a car like this sweet muscle,that the owner removed the sport kit for safe keeping.. He will maintain it has structural damage and should be dismantled for part or crushed. Please keep bringing them for us.. But remember full Disclosure

valarinz:
Perhaps it has some invisible structural which only ericko2k2 is trained to see

EgunMogaji:
Chief, you truly believe that the only reason that this vehicle is at Copart is due to a detached lower lip?

erico2k2:

@EgunMogaji I greet you .
At salvaged vehicles there is no ambiguous explanation there . It's either it is or its not.Insurance would not pay out if they could fix it..

thebigkendo:
That is what i keep saying, Insurance coy are not running charities.

thebigkendo:
Nah i know its more than that but another misconception Nigerians have is: any car with a Copart or iaai sticker is a salvaged car or as we call it Accidented.. i have seen some clean titled cars on copart.

EgunMogaji:
Very true but those hardly make it to Nigeria.

There's over 25,000 clean title vehicles on Copart today.

erico2k2:
Hmm true in some quarters, but in my book, if the title nor say salvage, it is not ohh, I nor fit shout btw baba The Range is on its way!
