It's not legal, ethical, or possible. A salvage title is a permanent brand. DON'T DO IT!!
That means that at some point the car was wrecked so severely that the cost to repair it exceeded 75% of the value of the car. The car was therefore totaled and sold to a salvage yard. The salvage yard sold the car to someone who repaired it and sold it with the required salvage title. You should have noticed the salvage title when you bought the car.
state inspections are free if the vehicle is deemed salvage. Salvage vehicle are required to undergo a safety check by the state highway patrol before being titled.
The cost for a title in Florida will vary For a new car it is $77.25 and for a pre- owned car it is $75.25. If the car was previously registered in another state the cost is $85.25
it just means that said vehicle has been damaged and an insurance company has considered it to be damaged beyond its value. if it is a "rebuilt" salvage title then it can be used as any other vehicle on the road, it just may effect the cost of insurance.

It means the car was wrecked, or flooded, so badly that it was sold for salvage. The cost of repair was 80% of the value of the car. The car was then bought by someone and repaired. Thus the salvage title. Run from this vehicle as fast as you can. == At resale time a salvage/reconstructed vehicle will net 60% of the value of a comparable car with a clean title. Cars are totaled when repairs top 75% of its real market value. An older salvage car can be a fine purchase since they are worth less and it doesn't take much to total them (even a little side swipe will total an otherwise fine car and it will drive fine). Avoid flood damaged cars as they can have a lifetime of quirky electrical problems. Don't believe the scaredy cats that say RUN from a salvage car--if the salvage/reconstructed car is in good condition and passes a pre-purchase inspection it can be a great deal.
Respective of the Vehicles title condition, You are entitled to fair market Value. Basically this means you are entitled to the amount it would cost you to purchase the same or similar type and condition vehicle. when you say has a clean title but had a prior salvage title, i am assuming you mean that the vehicle was repaired and inspected by your state and deemed no longer a salvage title? if that is the case then there would be no additionaldeduction for the 'branded' or salvage title which can lower a vehicles actual cash value anywhere from 25-50% whether repaired or not.........more details and perhaps i could be of more assistance......
If it has no damage, it doesn't need to be fixed, and the "repairs" should cost you nothing.

A Certificate of Destruction is when the a salvage yard has sent a car to the crusher and before it is crushed he must have the Vehicle ID number check to make sure he has title to destroy the car for scrap metal. Salvaged Title is when a Insurance Title company has deemed a car damaged in a accident i.e. crash,natural diaster,stolen stripped, to repair this car exceeds the cost of the car. So the Insurance company pays-off the owner of the car then sells the car to salvage yard but they put a Salvage Title on the Vin as to make sure if this vehicle is return back in to service the new owner knows that it was deemed totalled. Also so the insurance companies will know if it ever is asked to be insured again they will insure at a lower replacement cost.
