Mecum Kissimmee-

90s Mustang Cobra R for $165K. Gotta be ultra rare.

I know state laws are different, but anyone ever do a salvage title? I can't figure out in my state law if I can drive it as is or not or how that effects the insurace???

You probab;y won't be able to get collision coverage or comprehensive , but liability isn't a problem. Your state may be different.

I can see buying cars on price, but when they were drowned, it's not long before hte wet harness rears its ugly head. A lot of dealers won't talk about how a car was salvaged but look into 'branded title' in your state.

Probably best to avoid it altogether.

I think it could be a good way to buy cars cheap, but mainly for used dar dealers and people who can do a lot of different types of service. I wouldn't buy a car from any coastal state and I would recommend Carfax or other title search, to find out if it has been in a crash, drowned, etc. I wouldn't buy one from Milwaukee either, for several reasons- the city seems to think cars are pretzels and need salt, the roads are complete crap, 15K cars have been stolen in the last three years and the prices aren't lower than from places where they don't use salt.

Just isn't worth it. A few Mazdas going for over 3K.

Guy did a video from 2015 on a '96 Taurus and showed the undercarriage all rusted out. 20 year old car, but still. I'm looking at an 07 Taurus so that's one of the first things I'll be looking at. I'm starting to wonder if I should just pass LOL. That's some major rust out on the subframe and anchor bolts and rockers poop.

I've seen cars on occasion sprayed with some type of undercoat. Even do much?

seeing older cars in great shape is one of the things I noticed when we went to Florida recently. Not having to deal with the ice melt and severe cold and ice up north means the cars last a lot longer Down south. It’s been a cold and snowy winter so far. A lot of ice melt has been put on the roads which isn’t good for cars and a lot of living things. Come on spring!
