This. Without sneaker heads, Jordans / Yeezys would be worth less than $100.
@OP, How was the car salvaged? I'm not sure that replacing the damaged doors (no frame damage / No paint or bodywork was done on the car whatsoever) would salvage the G37, even at todays market price.
The reason I ask is because I was just in an accident and I had to do more than just replace doors WHICh included both paint and bodywork, and my G is STILL not salvaged. Here's a picture of the accident:
Here's what it looks like in the shop:
Should be done by this Friday, but I had to get a new fendor, new internal parts relating to the hood (it was pushed in), new front bumper, and a bunch of other misc parts. On top of that, I needed some body work and paint done. This put me close to ~8000$ and my insurance has still not totaled my car.
I feel like your G needs alot more to be salvaged if all you replaced was a passenger door and on top of that, you didn't have to do ANY body work, NO frame damage.
As to answer your question why I avoid salvaged cars, well, the rest already answered that. There is no resale for a salvaged car, or if there is, it's at a minimum.

Would be helpful to post pictures of the damage before and after it was repaired. Without that, you're basically asking people to take your word for it and a "it was just the door" is hard sell. An insurance co. might sway here and there but to salvage a car that just needed a door replacement seems very off and throws red flags to me....just my observation.
