Whasing it is Highly illegal where I live. Furthermore, it’s extremely unethical. I’d not like to buy a vehicle that was salvage without knowing it previously.
Changing frames would be OK, but I’m pretty sure that a new legal frame in good shape plus documentation and labor swaping it would be more expensive than the amount of money I’d be able to recover upon selling.
Salvage vehicles are those that wore at some point Involved in some kind of accident that has inflicted considerable damage to it. It has different degrees of damage, going from minor to severe. Although the vehicles are able been repaired to it’s full functionality and safety, they’ll have it’s documentation marked as salvage forever. Mine was marked as minor damages, I got it already repaired, if one is curious.
Don’t buy salvaged vehicles unless you are dead sure you gonna keep it for life. And don’t cotumise it if you intend not loosing that money. I’ve bought my Harely salvaged 10 years ago, put a lot of work and money on that. Now I want to sell it and I just can’t, even taking a 20% loss on the market price. And that is without adding the parts money I’ve spent. Bike original goes for 40K. I’ve put around 12K on parts and upgrades. I’m asking 32K and can’t sell it. Furthermore, the dealership don’t accept that bike on a trade cause of the salvage mark it has.
