Ok my girl friend is wanting to buy this 95 or 96 S14 SE that was total from the back, the shop buy it from the insureance and fixed it. it look brand new, I don;t know what kinda title can the shop get for the car. maybe a rebuild? but anyway can he still get full coverage or even insureance for this car?

And does a 95 S14 SE that was total before worth $5000? it has 127000 miles on it and the radio and speakers been tooking out.;)

thanks

Ehhh, you should probably look for something else or talk them down. 5,000 is way too much for something like that.

I open the trunk and look at all the Gaps on the door, bumper, trunk, it all line up. This is a place where all they do are Z cars and 240SXs.

You can get insurance for most anything duck. I would talk to the body shop guy that fixed it to get a real idea of how badly it was damaged and take it to a mechanic and another body shop to get it checked out really well before you even consider purchasing it. I would not pay more than a few thousand for it regardless. Since it was totaled from the back, it could be two cars welded together very easily.

That is true, it could be 2 car weld into each other since his yard has about 5 total S14 there. i don;t know any good body shop that does good work around beford highway.

How much do your think it worth or how much would you pay?The Car drives Good. No leak,sqeak,Petty Good Tires, Door Close without much power/very easy closeing, trunk open good. No Sign of hit anywhere out from the out side. Never seen the bottom yet, other then benting down from the back and look under the trunk. it still look good.

2000?3000?4000?5000?

I don't know about your state...but over here (VA) you can not get full coverage on a car with a salvage title. You can only have liablity....which makes alot of sense....because the value of a salvage car is EXTERMELY low in the eyes of insurance companies and DMV (IMO).

I would pay $2000 for the car.....who knows how it drives....
