$5000 with a salvage title is a bit high.

 

Willing to negotiate. Make an offer.

 

thats what i was thinking too...but it does depend on why it has a salvage title. but none the less it does hurt the value

 

Try explaining that to a dealer on trade in ......."its been all taken apart and put back to gether and may not be road worthy"!!

From what I know about salvage titles......Skeee is the 2nd owner..meaning he has no idea why it was given this title (If he would have crashed it and bought back from insurance company ...it would have a clear title and he would b responsible if someone was injured if he sold it defective) .Ya the guy who he bought it from said "Ahh man it was just layed down". Well thats fabricated alot of times to get a sale!!!! Alot of times ...........a bike is given a salvage title because there was frame damage or front forks were mangled and would cost too much to fix..which in turn some schmo buys and try's to fix ( whether hes is right or wrong) and make a profit on it. These title are risky and extremely hard to resale unless they go for really cheap.

Just my

 

i bought it with a salvage title 2 years ago. Bike runs great ever since the purchase.

 

ya thats all accurate but theres otherways a bike can get a salvage title then just what you listed. Of course we have no way of knowing really if what he says is true.....but a stolen bike gets a salvage title if the insurance cuts it out as a loss, which could come back in mint condition if they find it after they paid out for it. Ive known poeple that have taken a screw driver and put a scratch in the frame purposly so that they insurance would salvage it and then they buy the bike back, whcih is perfectly mechanically sound.

But what it comes down to is unless itsw cheap only salvage bikes you should buy are from poeple you know well enough, and even then this bike is overpriced for the simple fact of its resale value

 

I have a 2002 GSXR with a salvage title, wasn't a thing wrong with the frame, forks or motor. Was all plastic damage but to expensive to fix. Also I did own it when this happened and it still was given salvage title. I argued with everyone at state farm and was told it had to have a salvage title... O well they paid more for the bike than I did so I guess 4k in the bank after fixing it was worth it...

 

Did you buy this bike from me I think you did

 

who cares if it is a salvage title. if you get it aprazed it is worth what ever you get it aprazed for. and the insurance company will cover it for that. so if you like it get it ,if you dont dont. i see bikes with salvage titles go for big bucks all the time. if you can plate it ,it is good for the street. so it looks nice out so i am taking out the new busa. later

 

Everyone should care.... If you dont know the actual history of a bike (meaning you dont know the previous owner and what caused the salvage) then you should not buy it.. . I sure as hell would not want to be riding around on 2 wheels and not fully understanding how good the structural integrity of my bike is.. Regardless of how good of a deal I got... People pull some fast **** just to get bikes titled to make a buck and i would hate to be coming out of a wheelie or busting through a quick corner to have my bike break apart on me just cuz I tried to save a few grand....

 

true, but you have to get the bike inspected to make it street leagal. if it dont pass you can not get the bike titled.

 

Ive heard many a story of BS inspections.... Im sure the peeps who in the "buy-em cheap, fix 'em and sell 'em" business have their connections for inspections....

Kinda like when you get a ticket for window tint and then you just go have your cop buddy sign off on it... same senario....

 

i did JCLARK, wanna buy it back??? Im leaving the country.

 

I'd say salvage title is bad news and 9 out of 10 peeps are goona shy away from buying your bike.

Apprasial shamazzzilll...when the apprasial peeps find out it has a salvage title prolly wont insure it anyhow. Apprasial values are fabricated anyhow........ meaning nothing unless your an antique!! So please define apprasial value...when my bike got stolen i got way more than i should of and all's i needed was reciepts and had no apprasial??????

 

BLAH BLAH FU(KING BLAHHHH
