Donut Media, 2011 Cadillac CTS V coupe!! That’s my salvage car of choice.

Most of my dream cars are older cars. Which means I’ll be putting work into the car anyway. If the body was put back well enough that it ran for years then it’s probably okay and I would buy a SALVAGED title car as a fun project.

heehee

That is roigh

Lmaoooo

You wouldn't buy a car without knowing the carfax, so why do we enter relationships without the carfax?

Oof mah dude

@@irtiqahashim9459 Okay, looking at statistics might help guys. Also, can we stop stereotyping? I mean yeah some women are bad drivers, some men are sexist. The majority are fine people.

Salvage cars are garbage. The uptick in insurance rates is the biggest reason not to get one.

@@cherrypepsi2815 very fine people on both sides

That is absurd lmao

My stepdad threw me his totaled nissan frontier. I drove around with ziptied on headlights for 6 months until I sold it to my friend for $100. He fixed it up to the point it just looked like a truck. Week later some old lady decided to panic crossing a highway at the top of a hill and he tboned her. He got $7000 from the insurance company and bought a fancy v10 dodge a month later....it blew up....

I wish I would've pulled the trigger on buying my 370Z back from my insurance when they totaled it a year ago. Now I'm stuck looking for sports cars in one of the worst times to buy a sports car in modern history lol

@@garyrobinson8457 Dude I know right? I feel like I'm being strangled by Joe blow and the kangaroo courts in DC screwing up the world.

I did not know you can "buy" your totaled car back from the insurance company. I guess it varies state by state. There are laws put into place that prohibit such transactions, the insurance company must sell it to the salvage yard, where it goes up for auction.

Honestly younare the real MVP. Works like a charm. I was just about to see a car, I searched the VIN in GOOGLE, found out its had major front impact. Carfax didn't record that. Thank you so much. 🙌🏾

I wish mr Kilmer would stop clickbaiting the hell out of his videos man because he’s a genuine guy but all his titles are super misleading

honestly. i enjoyed his older videos more, straight to the point and was 100% correct. too much clickbait now so it’s hard to find what your looking for

@@HPsawus he’s a pretty weird guy in general lol I mean when he posts a video he’ll change the title the day after, like just recently he posted a video “Toyota fans are gonna hate me for this” and in it he talks about how the GR Corolla probably won’t match the Civic typeR, but the video title basically wasn’t wrong that it might anger Toyota fans….a day later he titled the video “You’re gonna hate me for this” which is most definitely clickbait 😂 because it’s ominous and no longer straight to the point

@@Naxatthedoor I know this is late but I think its a strategy that he uses to get more clicks. People may think he uploaded a new video when he really just changed the title and thumbnail. He's a genuine mechanic, but he definitely knows how to cheese the UKposts system lol

@@manuelsanchez5028 yeah that’s what I meant, but he takes it a step further by making a certain demographic in the car scene take curiosity to it before everyone else does lol

needed a *Legally asterisk lol. albeit there's a similar trick used to register cars that don't even have a title period. any car older than 15 years does not require a title to be registered in Vermont, and Vermont registration is transferable as a title to all other 49 US states.

You can but the cost and time just too much...You may well buy a normal used car at market rate... it is better for a million dollar auction car.......

@@campkira Why do you put so many periods after every sentence??

Why wouldn’t they drive like a car with a clean title? They are still cars and insurances put a salvage title on just about anything today😂

Kyrgyzstan is out here single handedly saving our salvages from the scrap yard

The problem is in states you need insurance and many companies don’t insure a salvage car and if they do its only liability and don’t fix your car if you crash

It’s the top dealers who hate us little dealers for taking their business. So they make up this garbage false information about salvage/rebuilt title cars so we don’t get no business, and you npc’s get scammed from them. It’s literally like how the media wants you to believe only what they say because they are the “top dogs” in the industry. Matter of fact most cars they sell at the dealership have been fixed/involved in an accident before but the title stayed clear. Rebuilt title still applies for full coverage (speaking from experience). Don’t EVER believe the nonsense they tell you about cars. If you see a car you like, take it. Just be smart about the purchase (meaning inspect the car before you buy it).

Mathieu L your dad’s a good person

back in the 80's and 90's, my dad would buy cars at auctions for his friend with a shop/lot. Somehow, he'd turn salvaged cars bent in half into brand new, and even had ways of getting the title clean. I'm not sure how, but there was a way to do it back then ig.

Hey ! Tell ur dad that he's the most honest seller I've ever heard ! Long live ur dad business ! 💪🏻

Do you pay more for insurance? I just bought a corolla salvage and trying to put under my name, how's the process to get it under your name?

@@fabien1446 You pay the same price than a perfect clean title car for the insurance.

prolly bc it was an actual rebuild lol, these guys tried to convince my gramma that they could WELD THE BLOCK on her jeep as a 'rebuild', but with no new motor. Keep that zed mint doe

Ong some rebuilds are good

My brother bought a 08 g35 back in 2010. It currently has 280,000 miles and still runs. I’d say it’s just as a big deal to know how well maintained the car was before you, rather then the reason it was salvaged.

@Morocho Vallecitos that’s why you buy real low, like auction sites. I have not lost money on any car I owned(broke even a few times(but that’s still good, I don’t pay money to use a car)). I buy them, fix them, drive them for a few months and sell them. The funny part about salvage is if the car is worth more than you can sell it for you just ride around until the lines meet and the market will take the car. Some times that take a long time. That’s why I stay away from expensive salvages, but if I get a car I really want then I’ll get as nice one, and keep it longer

I hate when I have to change my oil brakes. Those things are a pain in the ass to replace.

That’s hood af

My dad's van got the windows shot out (by a BB gun) along with about 60 other vehicles that night. The cost to repair was going to be the retail value of the van. Insurance told him vandalizism want covered in his policy, so he didn't go through insurance and a pair a junkyard to replace his windows.

cloud ix yeah, biological damage will cause a salvage title

My '02 E55 AMG Mercedes got shot up parked on the street in front of a friends apartment. Thankfully, they only shot out both front windows, rear drivers door window and drivers door frame. S, besides replacing door, which I found a matching door, there was no major body damage.

I feel like that would add value

That’s what I said. Looks like an adjuster.

I LOL'ed at that insurance composite, but the Aflac duck shouldn't be there. Aflac does disability insurance. If you have an extended illness or you become disabled, they pay you most of your salary, and it's tax-free. Disability insurance is basically insurance on your salary if you're out of work for a while for health reasons. It's got nothing to do with car insurance.

@@hamsterama yeah but duck legs

Aflac doesn't do car insurance though, the others do.

And aren't flood cars, short of that it's usually fine.

Or unprepared and clearly show the damage

True, as well as those that are only cosmetically damaged or were in a fender bender, while they might be low mileage and mechanically solid, were too old or depreciated for the insurance company to bother paying to repair it. My first and so far only two cars I've owned have had salvage titles. First one, a 1996 Chevy Beretta that got hit or hit what was probably a pickup truck or something high. Only damage? Busted headlight, bent fender and a bit of a dent in the hood. Got it for like $700, and the seller threw in a fender and hood from a donor car he planned to fix it himself with but never got the time, and I did the repairs and pulled a headlight from a junkyard car. Got the replaced body panels painted at the local Votech's bodywork program for next to nothing and had a pretty nice looking 60,000 mile car with one of those 3100 V6s GM put in a bunch of stuff in the 90s that still had a lot of life in it. Had it for I think 5 years and sold it to a kid as his first car who was tickled pink by it. (Or purple, it was that cool Black Rose dark metallic purple Chevy used to use. I think it wound up on Camaros and Corvettes too). Thing went full circle. My current car is a 2002 Ford Focus wagon in almost the same situation. Fender bender at around 65,000 miles, but was already around 10 years old so insurance said F-it. That time the seller did the repairs, so I paid a bit more upfront for it. So far I've had it for 6 or so years and I'm up to like 147,000 miles and it doesn't show signs of quitting yet. Only issues I've really had with it were a failing coil pack, a coolant hose that came loose from it's clip and rested on an EGR line melting a hole in it, and a cracked radiator housing.

Problem is that salvage shops use drivetrain and suspension parts from other wrecked cars to fix yours. So how do you know what condition those parts were in, or how many miles were on them?

They're great... If you never intend to insure or sell them - as tis video clearly points out

Of the 1st 6 cars I ever had, maybe 2 had cold AC without cannibalizing parts off itself. To this day I just use my windows.

Coincidentally I did have one that would do donuts if you let go of the wheel. It was a Buick Skylark. Once the break pedal fell off too. 1st car I had since moving with maybe 100 pounds of property to Texas. I think it had an AC.

Low mileage, low fuel consumption, kept in heated garage, loved and taken care of, female owner, owner is a retired doctor, only brought to local authorized service center, under market value, no price negotiations.

I mean the guy was right now the only problem is i only get cold air

Funny, I used to know a guy who only buys flooded cars. the guy buys in bulk. I remember in 2003 the guy bought 3 LS1 Camaros for far less than one used clean title. Needless to say, the guy was a pro mechanic. He knew if it had engine damage, and as a performance builder, he was gonna rebuild everything anyway

@@abo3abid1 lol thats a 2003 car imagine a flood on something 2010 and up? Computers would be a mess to sort through

@@thckitchen434 i sometimes think Blue was a flood truck. Her electrical is crap. Still, I've had her forever and the electrical only becomes a real issue every 3 years or so. Tranny finally got destroyed due to user error after 267k miles. Engine has another 100k before a rebuild, especially if I start using real oil filters.

Find the car you want and smash your shitty car into it. Then come back later and offer to buy it 👌🏻 Russian buyer tips.

The flooded damage only usually applies to luxury cars that have a ton of tech in them. It should be fine with something older and more basic.

I disagree with what he said about insurances and salvage title cars. I've owned multiple salvages and many people I know own them. No one has problems with insurance

I don’t see what’s the insurance companies salvage a stolen/recovery car. I mean it got stolen, parts stripped out of it, a ding here and there, wheels were stolen wheels, that’s not a big deal to fix.

I bet you're fun at parties.

It was a weight saving mod.

flood cars make great parts cars but are usually risky to "rebuild".

Samcrac: dew it

There's probably hundreds of flooded vehicles running around here, one we're working on has rust where the brake lines used to be. Not a terrible job to replace all the hard line but not something anyone really expects to have to do at any point. Ditto hubs and bearings, ball joints, etc etc. Avoid the crap out of flood cars if they saw salt water, about the only cars that made it out in good shape were all the Deloreans.

@@JustAlanIsCool The thing with flood cars is that you have to know what you're getting in to and the average person doesnt. Even many who think they do. I've bought and rebuilt flood cars and ive bought flood cars to rebuild other cars with. Some of the problems with these cars don't show their face until much further down the line when corrosion takes it's toll and this is where most people get burned from flood cars.

My cousin bought a flood honda accord back in 2001with 15k miles and it now has 220k miles still runs great

One of my uncles bought a Dodge Challenger a few years back, a 2015 R/T with a six speed manual. He got an unbelievable deal on it due to it having a flood title. Reportedly, it was at a Texas dealership during I believe hurricane Harvey, and part of the dealership's lot flooded. However....the dealership's insurance supposedly totaled everything on the lot, even the cars that weren't touched by the floodwaters. Granted, some of this could have been misrepresented by the dealership he bought the Challenger from, but it's been a solid car for him and he loves it.

How would they total a car from a fender bender?

Was it easy to insure it

Or did you have a problem with insuring it

@@georgeparker555 Cost to repair outweighs the value of the the car. Say that 350Z has 100K miles and would be worth about 8K on the used market, but the damage to the fender, bumpers, etc. cost around $5k to replace, this leaves the insurance with only around no wiggle room on the value of the car with a "clean" title. In their eyes, that's not worth, so instead of paying for repairs, they pay the owner outright the value of the vehicle ($8k in this example) and sell it to a shop that can fork up the repair cost instead of leaving it in the insurance's inventory. The insurance company might take a small hit in the beginning, but ultimately comes out on top considering their insurance policy and the money received from selling the vehicle.

Yea "over $70 value" my ass, they're profiting from these $45 boxes which means everything in there is cheap junk, that bag was prob worth less than 10 bucks, knife maybe 15
