Wow, that's totaled? I don't understand?
Not that it's any of our business but wonder what the cash out value to the owner was?
A few more images from the website.
I'm guessing the previous owner must have had a "really big" declared value on the insurance policy and just decided to take the money and run? :-\
Scott.
Maybe the damage is all underneath?
Doesn't look like any flood damage or biohazard either.
In a long ago previous life, I was a insurance claims adjuster. Rule of thumb back in the 1980's was 75% of the actual cash value (ACV).
Maybe Tim L. will come along and give a guesstimate for repairs in his shop?
Wow, sad thing is now it will have a salvage title
Wow. It's 30 minutes away from me. I might go look at it.
So totaling the car used to be 70% but nowadays it's more like 50%. Figure the cost repair is way less than that so my hunch is it's a recovered theft that the insurance company paid out on as total loss and then the car was recovered later and went to the insurance company.
Not sure why they assigned a salvage title to it other than possibly flood damage

Current is at $28,250. Stated estimated retail value:$155,00. Is that restored or in current messed up condition?

Last time I heard of this happening (on a Pantera after Hurricane Sandy, also Co-part), it was due to some bidders not being able to be confirmed (financially). Stop the auction, remove all the bids, restart the auction.
