This helps everyone when evaluating whether to purchase a vehicle or not. Vehicles with a salvage history may be great vehicles, if the repairs were done cor-rectly but many times repairs made might be less than desir-able, so the vehicle should be checked out. For auto recyclers, most of the vehicles they really want do not have salvage his-tory unless their primary business is selling scrap, have very few changes in ownership, and have not been at salvage auc-tions before, as these cars generally provide better resellable inventory.For a quick fix and flipOne benefit that many auto recyclers get is that as they are looking for parts cars, they sometimes come across some excellent vehicles for a quick fix and flip as a whole car. Sometimes these vehicles need the parts that the recycler has in inventory, sometimes these vehicles have the parts they need, and sometimes they are just too nice to pass-up.
