Subject:Re: '85 westy on ebay w/ 180k and salvage title for $6600 +?

There isn't a way that a non working engine could create a situation that a
salvage title could be issued, is there?  What if the owner had full
coverage insurance, was driving down the road and hit a debris which
flipped up and smashed the engine.  Then the repair bill for the engine was
more than the value of the vehicle?  Just thinking out loud.  Sounds fishy
to me.  Anyone have carfax? ---Edward
