Buying a vehicle with a salvage title is filled with risks and for most people, is not worth the risks or the hassle. However, if owning a salvage vehicle isn’t something that concerns you, then this Ford Mustang Mach-E might be right up your alley.
The EV has been listed for sale through IAAI and has been issued with a salvage title in Georgia. The listing notes that the Ford has damage “all over” but importantly, it notes that the SUV still runs and drives, suggesting that no significant damage has been done to the vital (and expensive) powertrain components.
Details surrounding the incident that damaged the Mustang Mach-E aren’t known but there is surprisingly little damage to the bodywork, albeit some damage to the front splitter and a missing fender flare. The more significant damage is visible when you look at the wheels.
When viewing the Ford from the front, you’ll notice that both the front wheels have been bent out of position so that the right wheel is now facing right while the left wheel is facing left. Additionally, both of the rear wheels are sitting in very peculiar positions, indicating some significant suspension and possible chassis damage. The suspension damage appears so severe that one image of the Mach-E’s interior shows a spring sitting in the passenger footwell.

While the SUV does have a salvage title, it is made somewhat more appealing by the fact that it is a GT variant and that it has only been driven 4,543 miles (7,311 km).
Vehicles issued a salvage title in the state of Georgia can be issued with a rebuilt title and driven on the road if they are repaired by a licensed rebuilder. Whoever ends up buying the EV will likely rebuild it or strip it for parts.
