it varies state to state, here in az it just has to go through inspection and get a road test to get a restored title

Re: Salvage title??
 

here in pa you can get a restoration title . i had to fil out some paper wprk have insurance and app,ly for a license plate before i could have it inspected and to finish the rest of the application and in a month or so i had my restoration title

If the car doesnt have a totaled title you should be fine. Call your local dmv and find out has each state varies but in cali almost all hondas are salvaged literally from theft or accidents

I know in MN, as in most states, there are ways to get a normal title on a car. Just includes inspections, paperwork ect.

I thought about doing it with an olds that I had totalled. Didn't seem worth it, I found a buyer earlier.

WA is the same way, you just need to get the car inspected. Here its like a 50 dollar fee, plus like a 5 dollars paperwork charge. My buddy and I had to do this for his old school BMW after he bought it back from the insurance company.

cool, I just checked...apparently in MD you need to have the car pass inspection by the state troopers, than have it pass normal safety inspection and then you go through the normal titling process. The car I'm trying to do this on is a Colt GT Turbo(4G61??), a pretty nice find... its in good condition, just has the salvage title.

how much did you pick it up for?

Re: Salvage title??
 

we're still trying to work out a deal, but I'm trying to get it for around $1500-2000 hopefully after I sell my Civic

no way, its not that much at all. State Patrol inspects which really consists of nothing. They give you a slip and you go register your car. I've had 2 cars with salvaged titles.

my car is or was a salvage title. just make an appointment wit state patrol and get it inspected. just make sure u have all the recites for wat ever u added on or fixed. bc ppl can get fuxked for that. ebay recites are no good in WA, but unsure about other states. i ve done a few cars already. most of the cars my fam own use to be salvage ttitle. i think they turn it into rebuilt title not sure, i forget.. make sure u have paper wrk and stuff, or just ask em wat u need when u call for an appointment

oh yeah sometimes it takes awhile, sometimes the appointment can be months away, depending on how busy they are or wat state ur in.

Best bet is to find out your state laws on salvage titles and go from there.

Well looks like my buddy was just getting raped, or maybe its because he had to go back more than once with the same car because his first attempts failed? dunno? :S

Re: Salvage title??
 

same in cali....but remember be a salvaged hurts the value of the car (so remember that if you ever try to resail it, or dump alot of $$$ into it)

Re: Salvage title??
 

the state police inspect the cars and they have the final word
