I wouldnt put something like that past them. If the state says its not salvage, its not. (Assuming it wasnt salvage in another state) Usually, the auction finds this info out and then marks the cars, not the other way around but mistakes can happen. And if the auction reported it was a salvage in error, then autocheck is just wrong. Besides, being a previous salvage hurts it 30-50%. Not $15k to $2k.<br><b>References : </b><br> Sounds like it may have been announced salvage in error or something.

It is not 100% accurate, but it is worth trying. Your car may have been bought from another state and the salvage brand got "washed" off when title transferred to another state. First place for you to start is to trace / track the car back through its titles. This can be time consuming as you must send requests to the state DMV's, wait for them to check it out. Plus you will be charged for the service. https://www.nicb.org/cps/rde/xchg/nicb/hs.xsl/vincheck.html<br><b>References : </b><br> Try this web site to check the VIN for being stolen.

If you can't find one, you may be SOL. Did Car Max say your car was worth $15,000 based on a salvage title? What is the car worth if it was not salvaged? The difference is going to determine if this is worth pursuing legally. The DMV only know what they were told, so their position is understandable. It appears you can prove the car was really a salvage so some kind of appeal needs to be filed with the DMV. I'd imagine another attorney would take on this case if there was some upside. But the question is, who are you going to get money from? You will have to sue the seller for the difference. Is that possible? Is it even worth it? This is where you need an attorney. If you can get AutoCheck to verify the car was sold fraudulently, and get the DMV to change the title status, you probably have a good case. Again, determine the upside before you jump thru all these hoops. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> You need to find an upside to this problem. If you can’t find one, you may be SOL.
