Yep, I've repaired and retitled 3 salvage cars. Resale value is trash but for something you're going to keep for a long time to use yourself it makes sense.
I can't tell you what you like, but EG wasn't an option when I ordered and if I could do over I'd still do VB. But I've never been much of a green fan expect for Kawi green.
I used to think it was a bad thing but now I love not hauling a bunch of crap around. Whenever the wife wants to drag something home or bring a whole suitcase of just shoes I get to say sorry, won't fit.
