You could however purchase a salvage car and have it repaired - this is usually a cost effective option as salvage cars have should have at least a 25% lower price over comparable non-salvage cars.

You contradicted yourself. The "car in white" can be used as the source for ALL of the parts to repair the salvage vehcle. Title is abstract, it is not physical. The CA DMV provides for this.....
I've done it before......
New Frame, new body, New VIN tag.....DMV Inspection...Done!
I rebuilt a 2008 Z06 for $24K total.....Clubbed it for 2 years then sold it for $28K.
The "car in white" is just a consolidated source of the parts.
I don't think I'll have to pursue the salvage option as I've had two dealers yesterday at $25K for a 2010 2SS.
I'm closing in........I'll get one.
I hope other potential buyers find value in reading this thread. Never pay more than 20% over wholesale cash.....its just a waste of money...and you're being taken advantage of.
