Salvage vs clean
 
What is your guys opinion on salavage to clean? How much should be taken off the top for being a salavage?

I'm guessing you mean salvage? It's gonna depend on how well the car was rebuilt, kind of case by case. I shouldn't have paid as much as I did for my rebuilt wreck because stuff didn't line up and corners were cut all over the place.

If a car was professionally rebuilt, everything lines up and the paint matches, I wouldn't take much off at all, maybe a couple hundred. If there's nothing wrong with it except for a few newer parts with fresher paint, what's the big deal?

Sorry i did mean salvage, I have a 08 Honda civic si that my shop rebuilt and was wondering what a good price would be to start at. I have pictures of before and after and during the repair process, just trying to get it out there now to some people that would be interested in it.

Post up some pics of the before, during, and after. There are several people here on HCF that rebuild cars. We can probably give you an idea to go by.

Looks like an extremely professional job. Depending on mileage, I wouldn't go less than 14K, probably $15,300 is about fair. I'd like to see some other opinions though.

thank-you. Vehicle has 38k on it. That was the number i was thinking around 15k dont think i can take less than that.

I know it's not fair to compare online selling vs locally, but many clean title 08 Si's with less mileage are going for no higher than $15k on ebay.

If you start higher and get no offers, then you probably want to ask for less than $15k.

Why is it they are going for so cheap online? These are great vehicles that are going to run for a very long time salvage title or clean.
