Why should you buy a salvage vehicle?

What is a salvage vehicle?

A salvage car is one that has been in an accident, stolen, weather-damaged or other event. Usually the damage is so significant that the cost of repairing it is more than the car is worth and therefore the insurance company will declare a total loss and write it off.

What are the benefits of buying a salvage vehicle?

The main benefit of buying a salvage vehicle is money-saving opportunities. You are able to buy a salvage car at the fraction of the price of a new one, you could make savings of up to 50% versus forecourt prices. Another benefit is the value for money you can get from a salvage vehicle, some insurance companies can declare a car as written off for minimal vehicle damage as the cost to repair it is far more than the car is worth, therefore, you could buy a fairly new car with minimal damage for the fraction of the price as a new one.
