Reconditioned Salvage vehicles

Reconditioned salvaged vehicles may be put back into the used car market. One of the major fears for used car buyers is the possibility of the used car industry recycling the salvaged vehicles back into the used car market. These once salvaged vehicles pose a financial, and safety risk for the general public. There are many means through which salvaged vehicles are recycled back onto the road, and this is just one example: - A vehicle has been declared a total loss by an insurance company because of accident damage such as collision damage, flood, fire, and theft recovery, etc. A total loss vehicle means that it is cannot be cost effectively repaired up to its mechanical and/or structural safety standards, and should only be reuse for components only. These total loss vehicles are usually sold to wreckers and repair shops or through a salvage auction.However, unethical repair shops and dealers can purchase these salvage vehicles and then try to repair them or they might cut off the good sections of various salvaged cars to create another motor vehicle. They put a fresh coat of paint on the reassembled car and then it is ready to be put back into the used car market. This kind of reassembled cars may look good cosmetically, but in fact, they are mechanically and structurally unsafe and probably worth only a fraction of the book value.Sometimes, these once salvaged vehicles may end up at reputable dealers who have no idea the car was rebuilt from salvage. Othertimes, there actually exist many used car dealers, wholesalers, auctions, and private re-sellers who are willing to sell vehicles that have questionable histories mainly because of monetary incentives. Dealers can make double the profit on selling a used car rebuilt from salvage as opposed to selling a normal used ar in good condition.Reconditioned vehicles are not recommended for purchase as these cars may have chronic problems that there is no way to find out if the vehicle is mechanically and structurally safe. Vehicles reconditioned from flood damage may not have structural problems, but they most likely will inherit some chronic electrical, mechanical, and rust problems that will again make the vehicle not worthy of purchasing
