Yes, but according to my insurance company, Nationwide, they won't (and the rep I talked to said it was industry practice) cover comprehensive or collision- so you'll be covered for any liability to inflict on other people/property, but any damage to the car itself, or theft, won't be covered. Essentially, if the car is Salvaged, it has no value, so it won't be insured.
== Shop around. I think Geico and Progressive will do more than liability but remember - a salvage vehicle that's been restored properly is only worth roughly 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car - so, depending on the age and condition and value of the car it might be best to just do liability coverage.
Yes.

You cannot legally. Once a salvage always a salvage. At best you can get a "rebuilt" title.
In Texas you do.
After you repair it, get a salvage title and it's deemed road worthy again. but your experts at insurance company determined it will cost more to do that than for you to buy something comparable.
No, that will come from the title company that handles the closing.
Homeowners insurance does not cover vehicles used on public roads. It should not be a problem. Geico insures salvage cars, as do most insurance companies. Just remember the car is worth less as a salvage if it's re-totaled the actual cash value of the car is about 40% less than a comparable clean titled car. And it's easier to re-total the car a 2nd time since it's worth less, so minor damage may re-total it. Lesson: don't pay too much for salvage cars and don't get in an accident! **14Jun11- Just called Geico and they said will insure my Salvage Title here in New Mexico, but will also allow me to add Comprehensive to the policy. The company I am currently with will also insure the vehicle for liability but WILL NOT insure for comprehensive. The choice is to go without comp or switch companies. You decide!
Yes most insurance company never ask for the title. there are Insurance company's on the web that will insure you and the vehicle weather you own it or not.
