Is it legal in California to ask full retail value for a salvaged title vehicle?
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!

Is it legal to sell a salvage car without telling it to the buyer?
Depending on the state the answer is no. If you are in CA, AZ, CO, NY I know you must disclose that the vehicle has a salvage title. As a private seller you are selling the car as-is but if your car was recently totaled/salvaged but you sold the car with the old clean title, that would be unethical. If I purchased the car from you and later could prove you knew of the salvage title I would certainly sue you and would probably win! What about a if someone sell me a "junk title" car without telling me, and I can show that they knew about it ?
How can you get the salvage title removed and how much does it cost?
It's not legal, ethical, or possible. A salvage title is a permanent brand. DON'T DO IT!!
You bought a car and the dealer didn't tell you it had a salvage title?
Did you get or see a title when you purchased the car? If the dealer knowingly sold you a salvage vehicle without full disclosure, ask for a refund or threaten legal action. It's illegal not to disclose such info. This is not the case for a private seller.
What are the pros and cons of a salvage title vehicle Im am thinking of purchasing a vehicle with a salvage title but Im not familiar with this kind of purchase. FYI the car is a 1993 Lexus SC400.?
A salvaged title vehicle cannot be re sold in retail transaction or auction. It can be sold at a salvage aution, for scrap/junk vehichles or "parted" out. The cons: If it's newer avoid, an older car is easily salvaged with only cosmetic damage, a newer car with a salvage title could have sustained over $15k in damage and that's major. If you don't know why it was salvaged, avoid. Before and after pics are vital. Don't take the seller's word for anything; just like buying any used car - have an independent inspection by a pro. If it was salvaged due to flooding AVOID big time. The car will never be right and a lifetime of quirky electrical problems will ensue. Insurance is not that big a deal. You can get full coverage, depending on your insurer but keep in mind that a salvage car has diminished actual cash value (roughly 40% less than a comparabale clean titled car) and you will be paid less if it's stolen or totaled a second time. Pros: If it's salvage due to theft recovery go for it! That's typically the best kind of salvage you can get, provided the thief didn't trash it. Salvage cars go for 40% less (don't pay more than that!) and if it's an older reliable car like a Honda or Volvo you could get a fine car for lots less. Make sure you run a Carfax to find out why/when it was salvaged and get a pre-purchase inspection. And drive it til you get your money's worth out of it cause they are harder to re-sell. I have owned two salvage cars and they have been terrific cars and great values. If the repair work has been done right, and the price is right, what's the big deal? Keep in mind this food for thought: a new car gets rear-ended and sustains $5k in damage - it gets to keep it's clean title. An older car with the same damage would get a salvage title. SAME DAMAGE, DIFFERENT TITLE. A clean title, therefore does not mean a clean car! Oh, and despite what you hear, once a salvage brand is given to a car it remains as such. There are illegal ways to "titlewash" and get a clean title but no legal way whatsoever.

How do i convert salvage title to clean title?
You cannot. Once branded salvage or totaled, the title remains as such. There are illegal ways to convert a branded title (called title washing) but no legal way. Sorry! It depends on what you are really asking with your question. It is true that once the brand is on the vehicle that it was salvaged it will remain on the vehicle forever. But if you mean converting from a salvage title to a salvage rebuilt title which looks like a "clean title" but still has the brand on it that is different. If you live in Texas you will need a rebuilt affidavit completed by the owner and the person who made the repairs, you will need the title completed by the new owner and the salvage dealer or insurance company that sold them the vehicle, you will also need the form 130u which is on the txdot website completed by the dealer or insurance company and the new owner, and the new owners insurance.

Absolutely,a dealer can sell you a vehicle with a salvaged title. Each state has there own laws but in most states you must disclose to the consumer that the vehicle you are selling to them has SALVAGED history. The selling dealer must disclose this on the state title forms and on the BILL of SALE.If the selling dealer does not disclose this,then you have a legal rights against the dealer.
