I’ve seen quite a few threads on here where Overseas M6G members are rebuilding salvaged S550’s from Copart or other U.S. based salvage facilities.
The bigger question is why buy a salvage S550 to ship overseas to rebuild?
Isn’t the shipping/import fees extremely expensive?
Isn’t it harder to find S550 crash parts or retail replacement parts to rebuild the salvaged car?
Maybe I’m missing the value in the transaction somehow - but can anyone explain the “why”?
I mean in many instances the Overseas Buyer is getting a totaled vehicle with a salvage title AND doesn’t know the full extent of the damages (hidden) until getting the car off the dock.
Is there really a savings overall?
Do salvaged U.S.Titles somehow get turned into good titles in another Country - or are titles not needed overseas in some Countries (asking because I don’t know)?
So what’s the scoop?
