2004 Monte Carlo SS

does this seem weird to anyone else only has 184 miles and already has a salvage title??? One how'd it get wrecked so quick, and two why rebuild it or buy it rebuilt and put like no miles on it???? I'm confused

 

I thought at first he meant 184k but can't be for $14,500

 

my friend was looking around for an newer style impala and found one with 300mi with a salvage title it was only 8k

 

I don't know about the miles. But as far as the salvage title...

There was a member on here years ago who worked at a GM dealership. Back in 2007, a shipment of brand new Monte's came in by car-carrier. During the offloading, the truck driver caused major damage to a brand new V8 SS. Crushed the roof, smashed the windshield, and also damaged the hood. The dealership employee ended up getting it cheap, and had the dealership fix it up. So a car getting a salvage title while new isn't impossible.

I also remember a whole shipping yard on the east coast, full of brand new Chrysler crossfires getting drowned by a hurricane induced flood. All the cars got a salvage title before ever making it to a single dealership. Chrysler donated the water-logged cars to high-school automotive programs.

 

True never thought of it that way just seems sad to me I buy a car to drive them no matter how nice if I had a corvette even I'd rack up miles I wouldnt let it sit with low miles like that I'd wanna enjoy it lol maybe thats just me

 

On the GTO boards I saw one member buy a brand new Orange GTO, I don't remember the exact details but right after the purchase as he was pulling out of the parking lot got slammed by a truck totaling the car. Even posted pics.....

These days anything is possible,

Aww, man! That really sucks.

 

Man that sux on the GTO

& well it also depends on wen it was fixed it coulda been totaled & just recently fixed its not uncommon for a car to set in a salvage yard for a few years

 

Seems to be missing all the HS kit and vertical spoiler except the front lip, wonder what happened to it

 

Well the hs kit is expensive well into the thousands (which is why i only have the front & rear) but sence it is salvage id say damaged in the wreck
