I am honestly wondering why this car would be a salvage. The title lists it had a rear collision but except for a little scratch in the rear bumper I can't see anything.
Used and Salvage Auction for 2004 CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE BASE; LIMITED | VIN: 1C3AN69L44X024681

That brings me to a question I always had. I have seen Salvage cars that have virtually no damage or very little damage that could be fixed with replacing a fender or simply a hood. Those parts if bought use will cost less than $500 bucks so I am not sure why an insurance company would deem said car as a salvage?
If a person gets into an accident. Can he tell the insurance he does not want to have the vehicle repaired but rather take the money, which would then deem the car as a salvage, then take the cash and put it towards a new car? Is that possible?

I bought my girlfriend a 2004 BMW 325i just recently from a car auction. Car had a salvage title and was in impeccable condition inside and outside and especially mechanically with only 48,000 Florida miles on it, 1 owner. Everything checked out mechanically and car must have been garaged as there was no wear or tear to the interior (seats etc.) and the beautiful white exterior paint was just as immaculate. All I had to do is replace the hood of that vehicle and she runs like brand new. All maintenance from day one was done at the BMW dealership. I got a price that was too good to turn down for a virtually like new vehicle.
Now my question would be why the insurance deemed that car a salvage when the repair work was so low it could have not possibly cost more than the worth of the vehicle with such low mileage.
