oh hell salvage cars are totally illegal here in florida. mostly cause of greedy insurance company ripoff artists. if a car is over 10 years old, with most of them, even a small ding or dent the car will be declared "totaled" and the insurance company will write you a check for about half of what its worth and call it a day. they are issued a "certificate of destruction" even though a lot of cars ive seen with this little slip of paper are anything but. ive seen this a lot in junk yards, these days im a proud owner of a 20 year old Lexus Ls400 -told you guys id get another one someday
and its in very very good condition but it isn't perfect. so im always trolling the junkyards looking for things I may need for my car, or cosmetic things that im missing. its pretty heartbreaking to see cars nicer than mine with a little dent on the door being stripped cause they were rendered "destroyed" oh and you can buy a "destroyed" car at auction, perfectly running/driving but its illegal to fix it and put it back on the road.
