    All I am saying, is for a car with the wrong brakes on the car, which are not cheap to replace. And a salvage title. 11k is too high in my opinion.

    There are 2 RS6's on craigs right now, one with 110k and one with 125k for $12k and $13k.

    Which if those cars are selling for $13k, 70% of that value is $9100. Which is all insurance would pay out on your car. SO paying $11k for a car and knowing insurance would only pay out $9k seems like a kick in the crotch before you even drive the car

    the car had the salvage title long before I bought it. and I called several insurance companies before picking american family, they had the best price, not one place said they wouldnt put full coverage on it. I feel like a lot of the "slavage title facts" that everyone thinks are all hear-say. does anyone besides me actually have first hand experience with a salvage title car?

    The black beast I just bought a few months ago has a salvage title on it from 2005. I have NO problems whatsoever with insuring it. I researched the history, confirmed the repairs, had third party inspection, and purchased.
    '02 S6 Avant Silver - Pokey | Carbon Black/Ebony RS6 w/ stuff - darn quick | '03 Daytona Grey/Ebony RS6 w/ more stuff - quicker yet | '91 NSX CDN issue with 6spd & BBSC - quicker yet and then some | '87 Buick GNX OEM clone w/ lots of stuff - quickest hands down

    I was posting because I have actually gone thru it with insurance companies, and so has my brother.

    Progressive who I have(which used to be awesome, have turned into complete dicks anymore) would not give me full coverage on a Touareg V10, they would only offer liability not comprehensive, which was totaled due to vandalism and fully repaired.

    My younger brother has Allstate, and they would only offer the 70% of cars value on a newer Golf R that was totalled for hail damage and repaired. Local smaller bank would not offer a loan on a salvage title car, and went thru a credit union, but the credit required him to put more money down due to the 70% value of car insurance clause.
