Thanks.
Usually you get around 80% of the actual value but it really depends on the
vehicle. Because this is a '93 with 142k miles, i'll get whatever someone is
willing to pay (the sharper looking, the more i can get for it because alot
of younger buyers base most of their decisions on how "cool" it looks)
I didn't buy it to sell though, I have a total of around $3500. into it and
i'm gonna drive it into the ground. My kids are eyeing her up too... maybe
they'll get it.

I'm of the same mind when it comes to my `79 CJ-5, although mine is more
of an amazingly life-like recreation than a true restoration. I didn't
build it to sell and at the moment I've more money in it that I could
possibly get for it, even on a dark night. In any case I plan on
keeping it forever -- or until I no longer have a place to park it.
What I was wondering about the salvage title was if it would doom the
vehicle to DMV inspections every time it changed hands or to insurance
surcharges, and I really was just wondering without any background on
the matter. I suppose it might depend on the state the sale was in.
