Re: Think I'm gonna have to sell my truck :(
I rebuild wrecks for a living. That is what I lovingly call a Walmart door ding. Meaning that it is not so bad as far as the repairs go, I'm sure it was bad to you and for you. The salvage title deal doesn't mean much to me but I'm the only car dealer in my area or the only one period that the bank will loan money on a salvage title, because the bank people all know that I'm upright fair and honest about my trucks so it doesn't stop them from loaning money on one I've built.With that being said the last truck I built with salvage papers I did not even paint anything on it it was hit in the rear and I replaced the bed with a new take off and still had to give it away practically. It was a08 GMC extra cab I got $7500 for the loaded truck and lots would not talk to me any more after I said it had a salvage title, some would just hang up on me, rude. But it does hurt unless you find some one who really don't care I've sold maybe over a 100 with salvage and if they want a certain truck it doesn't hurt that much, but it is a bargaining chip because of the diminished value.
