Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General How many of you are driving salvage titled tours??

i juts recieved a notice in the mail today that leads me to believe that the insurance co. of the cause of my accident (the 16 year old kid who cut me off) will pay for the damages to my vehicle.

if this is the case, they will total it, give me ~$2,000 USD, and let me buy it back. at which point i will proceed to fix it with the $$ i have left form the payout.

only problem is, if this happens, it will have a salvaged title.

what i want to know is, will this pay off in the end??? the power steerring pump was gone anyway so i took it for a drive tonite, it drives GREAT. thats the only word to describe it. i didnt drive it long (major coolant leaks) but i drove it long enough to know nothing is crooked.

so i can have it driveable for $500, use the other $1,000 to fix the car after i pay $500 to buy it back.

opinions?? suggestions???

i dont intend to EVER sell the car, FWIW.
