Anyone know why it has a salvage title?

described as driver side door(s) and rocker panel damage. im sure it could be proven to be a solid car structuraly-i hope- via a body shops inspection. but uni body and frame damage to the b pillar supports and undercarriage supports and a salvaged title make for a tough sell in the bmw sports car market. if it were an all original body "theft recovery" salvaged title it might be worth close to 15k(not my *&$@# money) IF you knew you never ever never never were going to sell it. i would figure the car at 12k retail since you can buy an original one for that price that is in similiar mechanical shape but with twice the miles and a title that will allow it to allways be a marketable car, a car that will undoubtedly increase in value over the years.

sorry, its probably pretty rude for me to butt into a for sale thread and tell somebody what there car is worth, but this is a car dealer much like i spent 7 years doing, and if he bought the car right he should be able to take $12k with a smile on his face.........the new owner too if the structural integity hasnt been perminantly ruined.

a 91 m5 retails per NADA for 10k (not market value correct) so a insurance company would have to declare atleast 7000 or 7500 in repairs before issuing it as totaled and branding its title. shit, im a little foggy on different staes ins and titleling laws, but to be salvaged would indicate a "total loss" resulting in a ins payout for the value of the car.....the salvage rights can be bought for 17% of the cars book value, which i would gladly pay $1700 for a smacked m5. the owner than may have meticulously repaired the car to brand new specs and enjoyed it for however long before he traded or sold it, i probably would have considering the miles, rarity and the possibility of attachment one can have for a M car, but i would keep in mind that its value would decrease by 50% due to its history.
