Legally, yes, unfortunately there are some unethical car dealers and they do not always 'follow the rules.'
You can ask anything you want to for it. Whether you can get it is another matter. California law requires you to tell them it is a salvaged title vehicle. If you do not tell them you have committed fraud and are subject to fines and jail time.Note: a legal salvage title will indicate that the vehicle is salvaged!
YES!!!!!!!!!
does a seller have to tell you a car has been salvaged?
Contact your local DMV and they will tell you what is necessary to get a title for this vehicle.
call the department of motor vehicle and they will tell you what to do.
If they have a key or their name is on the title then yes.
The title will state whether the vehicle was a police car or taxi.
Call the Dept. of Motor Vehicles in your state. They handle it, they will tell you how.
Though laws regarding the sale of vehicles vary from state to state, the law generally allows the sale of cars with a salvaged title - provided the information regarding the salvage was revealed up front. This translates to the idea that there is no law prohibiting anyone from selling a salvaged vehicle, so there is no penalty. It's all about the deal and what you were told. Reputable car dealers tell you and get you to "sign off" on the fact that you were properly informed a vehicle was salvaged as part of the sale. Shady dealerships and many private parties may not say anything and (unfortunately) leave you high and dry. If you believe you were taken, litigation, complete with a lawyer'$ fee or pro per (sans attorney) in small claims court, might be all you can do. Note that a lawyer will often waive the fee for an initial consultation or offer that first visit at a very affordable rate. A wise person would take advantage of this. The burden of proof is squarely on you, so itemize all you can recall about the negotiation and who was there, and do this immediately. Then begin to line up your ducks. Get some advice, toss aside the emotional distress (detatch!) and focus on just the facts in the incident. Then look things over and make your choices, all with hopes for a favorable outcome.
generally,a personal vehicle is regitered (tagged) in the name of the owner shown on the vehicle's title. if her name is on the title,you can supply the funds to register but it will be in HER name. (same goes for insurance,policy will be in named owner shown on title.) a possible solution might be to re-title the vehicle in BOTH your names,your DMV or an auto insurance agent can tell you what the laws allow in your state.
If you had the car titled in your name and just lost the title you can go to the court house can tell them you lost the title and they will make you a new one. This will cost you around $10
Yes, If you complete the proper request forms
