Salvage titles

Submariner said

So, to make it even a little more convoluted, the seller never titled it in his name. The salvage title is in the name of the person he got it from. Car is priced under what the value should be (not half, but 7-10k under where it would normally be). The title is signed by the guy he got it from.

I would never buy any car over 1,000 dollars from a title jump to begin with. If it is not worth the seller to put it in his name to resell it it is not worth buying it besides in Michigan it is illegal to title jump any car. You cant even scrap a car without the title being in your name here. The salvage for me would be 50 percent of value without a title jump. You were smart to pass.
