Just curious...

Are salvage title cars that are daily drivers insured the same?

I think that this depends on the insurance company - there is no standard. Buyers would be well served to check with their insurance company before buying a car with a salvage title.

Garage
Thstone,
I'm looking at one like this as well. The water destroyed the ABS unit and immobilizer, as well as carpet and seats were damage. Owner says it was smoking under seat when he tried to turn it over, and pulled the battery cables. The insurance CO did not want to possibly replace the wiring harness immobilizer and ABS systems. I'm thinking of buying it to make my Non S a S. Solves my tack power problem just gives me a big winter project.
3.2 engine
Front brake upgrade
Front center radiator
front bumper cover and radiator duct.
Possibly a good "S" ECU the entire wiring Harness for engine
If I pull the rear suspension I could install the rear axle hubs for the S rear brakes to mount

Update you Saturday
