Buying a CoPart RV!

Not sure I would ever buy something like this. Sure there can be deals to be had, but not this one!

  • Yes you can insure them but it’s a lot of work.
    Yes it can be repaired, but the wiring alone would be a pain. Don’t know if I would ever trust it again.
    For what he is going to have in it after paying others to repair it he could’ve bought a 100% functioning RV and no issues.

    I have to agree. Something with a salvage title is not really worth much. After all. you can't even insure it, because they have paid off on it once already. Liability is all you could get, Unless I'm wrong, and don't think I am. So if anything happened. You would just be out what you paid to fix it, and buy it. Not a good deal. Unless you ca get it for nearly nothing, and I mean less than 5k.
    Value is in the eye of the buyer.

    and the salvaged can be insured.

    This was a killer deal, and an easy repair.

    all repair parts should be available.

    the most difficult for me would be the wire harness repair.
