If the car is still going to be driven, then yes it does need insurance.
Some companies will let you buy liability insurance. almost none will offer full coverage. A salvage title means the car has already been totalled before.
Yes. Getting insurance and plates with a salvaged title car should not be a problem. It shouldn't affect any of that... the only thing you need to worry about is if the place you got the car from properly fixed all of the problems on the vehicle.
Any agent should be able to help you.
If you took the money from the insurance company you have agreed to the salvage title and there's nothing you can do about it. Now the car just lost 40% of its value because of the salvage title but I assume you made money on the insurance payout. If you refused the insurance money and fixed the car yourself for $5K the title would have remained clean. Now if you didn't file a claim and they still salvaged the car title you can either fight it if they didn't pay you or take the money and drive the car til the wheels fall off.
You only need insurance if you are going to tag it and drive it. If it is just for parts or scrap, you don't need insurance.
No, unless you have another car with clear title and full covered by Aaa.
No. The title becomes salvage from the insurance company that gets a car that was involved in an accident, water damaged, fire, etc. If you donate your car, you just sign over the title to the person or charity you are donating it to. make sure you get a copy of the title front and back after you sign it over to prove you donated it so you can prove that you did for insurance and tax purposes.
It means that the car was damaged, but was not reported as a salvage title. A PS Title is Pre-Salvage. It is a clean original title on a car that in most cases should have been transferred as a salvage title, but for whatever reason was not.
Yes, of course you do! :)
The salvage title has to do with obtaining a loan on the car. However, I would disclose it.
only if the car was damaged to where it was declared totalled. Then you need to get a Salvage title and have the car inspected.
