Continuing on the subject, in this blog post, we’re answering some frequently asked questions about salvage motorcycles.
What is a salvage motorcycle auction?
Most insurance companies sell vehicles that they’ve declared a total loss to auction yards, but most of those auction yards are only able to sell vehicles to those with a dealer license. AutoBidMaster gives you access to these vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, ATVs, industrial equipment, motorcycles and more. Registration is quick and easy: everything is done online and you can start bidding immediately after registration.
What are salvage motorcycles?
Motorcycles get a salvage title if they are totaled in an accident or their repairs cost more than a specific percentage of their market value. In many instances, insurance companies opt to replace vehicles as opposed to repairing them, with the damaged one getting sold at salvage auctions. While a great many salvage motorcycles available for sale can be repaired, there are some options that are only good for parts. The purchase and repair cost of most salvage motorcycles is often way lower than what you would require to buy a new or used option.
Can you repair a salvage motorcycle?
Short answer: YES.
Long answer: It is possible to repair the vast majority of salvage motorcycles although everything largely depends on the level of damage and your budget. While some salvage motorcycles can be repaired, some have more damage than is worth repairing and the best option is to salvage usable parts. At the end of the day, it is all up to you to weigh the different salvage motorcycles that can be repaired against the cost of such repairs and the level of damage so that you can make an informed decision. You also need to see if the parts for the motorcycles on your shortlist are readily available.
Can you insure a salvage motorcycle?
You can insure a salvage motorcycle, although it may require a little running around. Insuring clean-title motorcycles is easy but when it comes to salvage motorcycles, connecting with the right insurer can take a bit of searching. This is because a lot of insurers are less than willing to cover salvage vehicles. You may want to start with an insurer with whom you already have coverage for another vehicle. Regardless, there are still many that are willing to give you cover. Before you can look for insurance, it is important to first get it repaired and apply for a rebuilt title with the DMV. You can then get it inspected and certified as being roadworthy.
