Salvage vehicles are those that wore at some point Involved in some kind of accident that has inflicted considerable damage to it. It has different degrees of damage, going from minor to severe. Although the vehicles are able been repaired to it’s full functionality and safety, they’ll have it’s documentation marked as salvage forever. Mine was marked as minor damages, I got it already repaired, if one is curious.
Whasing it is Highly illegal where I live. Furthermore, it’s extremely unethical. I’d not like to buy a vehicle that was salvage without knowing it previously.
Changing frames would be OK, but I’m pretty sure that a new legal frame in good shape plus documentation and labor swaping it would be more expensive than the amount of money I’d be able to recover upon selling.
