Re: 1930 Tudor accident
The big problem with the buy back is now I would surmise the car will have a salvage title? May effect future values and did you check to see if it can be insured with such?

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
What you say about salvage title is accurate! It is now salvage forever! I speak from experience.

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
Too bad about that A. They way people drive today is ridiculous. I have bought back two cars (one was a classic) that neither one had a salvage title issued. It was just money given to the insurance company to keep the car in my possession. Of course that was 20yrs + ago. Is it different now? I have Hagerty on both of my cars.

Likely in this case, if the agreed value was $9k, then the estimate of $7,200 was a formality for it to be considered a total-loss which is typically 80% of value. So after it is repaired, what do you feel is the proper value for your car?? I have 'preached' here over & over that most hobbyists have their vehicles very under-insured. In my line of work, I see it all too often. The idea of the insurance is to return your car to the same condition as it was 5 seconds prior to the wreck. In the case of 400-500 hours to properly repair it ...multiplied by the shop's hourly rate -plus materials, you can easily be at $40k or more. The issue then becomes the insurance company says that replacement vehicles can be had for less money, however generally speaking, the vehicles that are available on the market are not of the same quality in mechanicals and/or aesthetics as what you have. I do wish you the very best in your repairs on your car, and also agree that angels were definitely all around you when that happened as it could have been much worse. |

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
Regarding salvage title. My wife's Saturn was hit in California and the DMV there wanted us to bring the car in for an inspection before they would issue a registration. We drove it to North Carolina and the DMV here said that they did not give a hoot what California wanted and registered the car. Not sure if this would apply to a salvage title.

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
Whether a car gets a salvage title or not varies by state. I will not have a salvage title. Yes I under insured it ($10,000)based on what I had paid for the car not looking at what I then put into it. As to what I think my car is worth it really makes no difference as I love my A and love driving it. I am retired that car is my hobby and I will put my labor and the insurance money back into the car and make it better than it was. I will also increase value to $15,000 and get the cherished salvage option. The repair estimate was not done by Haggerty but by a respected body shop who I chose and have dealt with before.

I wrecked my Harley, totaled, of course the lady turned right in front of me, but anyway I bought that back, fixed it, and my Chevy got creamed (another lady...just saying) bought that back too and fixed it. Wish I knew about the "Cherished Salvage" then. This tread has been an eye opener...thanks all

Does anyone care about who might be the next Buyer/Owner. Don’t they have a right to know if a car has been “TOTALED”???? What if you were that buyer? Sorry, I would never want to be deceived, nor would I knowingly deceive anyone. SAD. |

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
Totaled is just a name.If that car had been insured for more it would have been repaired.It was only considered totaled because the cost to repair came up to a certain percentage of the total loss number.We don't require titles for old cars here in N.H. When my coupe was declared a total loss Hagerty asked if I wanted the remains.I said yes,they kept a little of the money,and said it's your car,do what you want with it.They also told me if I wanted to repair it to just send them a picture when it was done with a value and they would re-insure it.It is still actually insured with them,but only up to the $765.I paid them for it.

There is a difference however in a known TOTALED car, and someone changing the title so it no longer shows as having been totaled or scrapped. Virus a car built from parts of many other cars or found in a field. Knowingly changing a title to hid the fact of a potential problem. I think some buyers might consider fraud. I know that I would. We all have are personal standards. When I sell something, I try to inform buyer of everything that I know about that item. If it was totaled and I had done it over. I think I would be showing the new owner everything great that had been done to make the car correct. Buyer beware, how many times have we heard that. |

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
I am not putting a plug in for a company but even though my car will have a clean title it will still show up as a total loss in Car Fax. Whatever I sell goes with the honest history of that item. I am not in this hobby to make a profit but to enjoy it. Changing an engine to hide the true Serial number to me is the same as altering a VIN which is a felony in Virginia

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
I just don't think it makes any difference in an antique car.Newer cars is a different story.A few years ago I bought a 61 Volkswagen from the west coast that had a salvage title.It was a recovered theft that had been found a couple of years after the insurance claim was paid.There was no damage,but it was sold and titled as salvage.The title was not required here,but could be used in place of a handwritten bill of sale to register.I did my town clerk part of the process,and went to the registry.The girl there looked at it and said,cool,never saw one like this before.Then she turned around and fed it into the shredder.We aren't supposed to have more than one ownership document on a pre-title vehicle.all previous ones have to be destroyed.No new title was issued as we are a non title state for pre-2000.

Re: 1930 Tudor accident
well I believe the op discussing his car will rebuild the front end better then 70% of the cars that are owned here by ford barn members. to me, as Keith mentions, the title has absolutely no meaning as to what it says salvage, over the limit mileage etc etc.
In the end- to each his own. People get hung up on what titles say. I am more concerned with the quality of the car at hand. |
