Nope. We built a VW van from two wrecked ones - cut the front clip off a good one and welded it onto the other that was smashed in front. Took it to the tag agent who looked at it, thought it looked good and titled it - I don't remember what the title said specifically. Got liability insurance

I don't think so. You might be confusing this with a rebuilt title. Some states require that a car with a salvage title be inspected and it's roadworthiness be attested to by a state or licensed inspector. Then it gets a "rebuilt" or "reconstructed" title. Other states don't make the

We had a local dealer selling his cars advertised as "Deeply Discounted" because of Hail Damage.  The advertisement said many of the cars had damage only detectable by a professional.  I guess they weren't bad enough to warrant Salvage Titles?   I especially like it when I see a advertisement

My insurer told me they no longer insure cars with salvage or rebuilt titles. I asked if that was just related to collision coverage and they said, no, it's across the board. It's Allstate if anyone was wondering. A good question to ask your insurer -D > On Aug 30, 2017, at 11:28 AM,
