Insuring a Salvaged Car?

[Universal Elements]

but what is the blue book on a car with a salvaged title?

If you look at KBB with everything the car has on it, you should pay about 1/3 to no more than 1/2 for a salvage vehicle. If you pay more than 1/2 you will loose when you sell that car or wreck it. Another thing to consider is when you do eventually want to sell it, you will sit on that vehicle for some time until the right individual comes along - to get close to the price you want.
