Volgens Wikipedia: “In North America, a salvage title is a form of vehicle title branding, which notes that the vehicle has been damaged and/or deemed a total loss by an insurance company that paid a claim on it. The criteria for determining when a salvage title is issued differ considerably by each state, province or territory. In a minority of states and Canadian provinces, regulations require a salvage title for stolen or vandalized vehicles which are not recovered by police within 21 days. In such cases insurance companies declare a vehicle total loss and pay off the previous owner;[1] but, in others, it is issued only for losses due to damage. Under some circumstances, a salvage title denotation may be removed or replaced with a Rebuilt Salvage designation;[2] and cars imported to, or exported from, the United States may be issued a clean title regardless of history.
Because a salvage title can be issued to a vehicle with easily repairable problems or no damage whatsoever, the low cost of the salvaged motorcycle or car is appealing to some hobbyists and investors. Experts recommend caution when purchasing a salvaged vehicle, because there may be hidden damage,[3] which, if unrepairable, may render the vehicle a “pile of parts””
Ik weet niet wat de prijzen zijn van een tweedehands 996 in de US of A maar het zou mij niet verbazen als lichte schade al voldoende is om een wagen daar total loss te verklaren. Wisselstukken zullen daar niet veel goedkoper zijn als hier. Dus salvage wil eigenlijk niet zoveel zeggen, best heel het carfax rapport opvragen, daar staat normaal ook bij of er structurele schade werd vastgesteld.
Vraag blijft dan idd of ie hier nog in te schrijven is, zonder een US rebuilt title.
