Repairing salvage 370z

It sounds like you're going to do the repair yourself and have done that before. You already know what that takes and seem willing to put out the effort. Hell...go

It sounds like you're going to do the repair yourself and have done that before. You already know what that takes and seem willing to put out the effort. Hell...go for it. what it seems people don't understand is that when the insurance company totals a vehicle out, they are including hours and hours of labor in the repair. That jacks the estimate up a lot. By buying it and self repairing it, you are saying that you are willing to do the labor for less than they were willing to pay. Nothing more. The result is profit margin or discount to you should you keep it for yourself. You can use new or good used parts depending on what it is to save even more. The only down side is the salvage title. Some finance companies won't finance them and some insurance companies won't insure them. At least not around here. That can make it kinda tough to move them down the road. I ran into that on some salvage bikes I've built in the past.

Which ever you decide to do good luck with it.
