Because no matter what you think or say or propose to know, salvaged vehicles are looked downed upon by most dealerships and financial institutions, and thereby the market.
He's not wrong though. Anymore, there are too many nice cars with clean titles to even look at a wrecked car, regardless of the damage and/or repair, unless you're looking to fix it yourself or unless the vehicle is an absolute steal.

And so they should be looked down upon. Nobody in their right mind would buy a salvaged title vehicle if there were a non-salvaged available.
When you can buy a mid 40’k car for high 20’s with 2k miles and absolutely 0 aesthetic, functional, and mechanical issues. That’s when lol.
I’m not worried about re-sale value, it like all cars depreciate year after year.
With re-sale value aside, I'm the one who saved huge on a C7 .
*expects passive aggressive responses lol*
So are you actually wanting to trade for a GT500 or just curious if anyone would actually do it?
I thought he was asking if anyone would trade an '11/'12 GT500 for a C7, but it looks like he was just looking for confirmation after he's already bought a salvaged C7.
None taken my man! These are all opinions after all.
People add emotional value to depreciating assets all the time. That’s car enthusiast culture in general.
Picked up the C7 (completely stock) a year ago with 2,800 miles for $33,5xx AFTER taxes and registration.
Vehicle had a mild impact in the front driver side (detailed photos) before it was fully repaired.
I’ve been around the salvage business since I was a young teenager. For those who have no idea what they’re looking at (internet knowledge) when they see a crashed vehicle, I would agree with them to stay away, but if you’re experienced in the field it’s a place where you can save huge $$.
A gentleman introduced me to the idea on a forum on FB a few weeks back (his 12’ GT500 had 40k+ Miles) and I just couldn’t do it.
Just wanted to pick the brains of the SVT community.
Had it for almost a year now. I had a gentleman wanting to trade me his 40k mile clean title 12’ GT500 for my C7 and I backed out. I then began thinking about trading my C7 for a 11-12 GT500 with under 30k miles but after doing some research I, again, figured it would be taking a step backwards.So are you actually wanting to trade for a GT500 or just curious if anyone would actually do it?

BingoThe nice thing about corvettes, it's body on a real frame. You can definitely find some great deals on salvage vettes and have a nice, structurally sound vehicle, so long as the frame remained relatively untouched.

I paid off my C7 last week. I’ll throw on a $5,000 CARB legal AA blower on low boost with tires and call it a done day.
It will no longer be my daily.
I hate the sound of a centri on anything but a track car.Do it! I helped a buddy with a P1SC AA kit on his 08 C6, later upgraded to D1. The car was an animal, kinda scary to drive once you started to build boost. FWIW I would just start with the D1 from the get go, think it only adds 400 bucks to the kit, that's a lot cheaper than changing your mind later.
Give it a pull or 2...heat soak city.I hate the sound of a centri on anything but a track car.
I have a friend with an Edelbrock on a Z06. That thing is quick.
