yes it is called a salvaged title
Yes, any condition that caused the car to be totaled by an insurance company could cause it to have a salvaged title. A good hailstorm can do thousands of dollars of cosmetic damage resulting in a salvaged title.
It depends on many aspects, however since it already has a salvaged total it will be significantly lessened than if it didn't already have a salvaged title. Your insurance company should be able to give you specifics as to why they are offering what they do.
you pay money
A car is considered "totaled" if the cost of repairs is equal to, or greater than, the blue book value of the vehicle.
The very first thing you do is report it to the police. Whether the car is "totaled" or not (a decision typically made by insurance adjusters), a police report is required for any automobile accident.
If friend negligently caused the accident, yes.
NOPE. Once a salavage always a salvage, though in some states it can be called "totaled/reconstructed".
It would depend on why the car was totaled and who's fault the accident was and what time of insurance do you have PLPD or Full Coverage
Clean vin means never salvaged or wrecked ( totaled ), and in many cases all frame, body and engine stamps match the original build sheet.
Usually it means that the cost of returning the vehicle to street-legal running condition would be higher than the cost of replacement (vehicle value when wrecked). Once a car is declared totaled it may not legally be registered and driven, and is supposed to be salvaged for parts.
If a car is totaled in an accident and only liability insurance is present, there is a chance that the other party's insurance will pay for the vehicle if the accident was their fault. If a car is totaled, but no others were involved, then the responsibility falls on the registered owner. This will not release the registered owner from paying for the vehicle, either, if money is still owed on the car.
