My loss estimate is between 15% to 20%, being totaled by insurance companies. Since some of the 2005 models are 16 years old (my SRT6 was manufactured in September 2004) a 15% rate loss would equal 560 SRT6 losses and a 20% rate would equal 747 losses. We currently have only 143 Branded Title cars. I did not begin collecting the Branded Title cars until much later in the data collection process. Based upon my estimate and actual number collected, we are missing quite a few of the Branded Title cars for the database.
When this collection process began in 2006 by SRTSIX (Karl), no one was looking for Branded Title cars, they were to new to consider for inclusion or identification.
Theoretically, we may be missing 400+ VIN#'s that were junked and off the road.
We will never collect the COMPLETE VIN# listing, unless Chrysler provides it, but I'm not relying on Chrysler, MB or Karmann. Each source has been asked for the information, with NO response.
So, everyone is stuck with my slow process of viewing numerous websites on a weekly basis.
