Hi you were in an accident two years ago your car had front end damaged that was fixed professionally by a reputable dealer your vehicle runs and looks like new Is your car still a salvage vehicle?
Once a salvage title is given to a car it remains a salvage or totaled/reconstructed car. It will never legally have a clean title again. This assumes the damage was reported to an insurance company and they totaled/paid out on the car.

You must provide that salvage title in order to claim for the collision aspect of this current claim.
How do i get a clean title from a salvage title?
Once a salvage title always a salvage title. You may get totaled/reconstructed or some other wording but the car will never be clean again, it will remain branded and it is illegal to do otherwise.To remove the 'salvage' on the title would defraud the next buyer. It would be unethical and probably illegal.
What is the meaning of a salvage title?
That is what a salvage yard receives when a vehicle is purchased at auction and intended for being parted out, totaled insurance wrecks, or tow yard impounds. In some cases the vehicle is in good enough shape that with some repair it can be road worthy again so it is sold with a salvage title. When the vehicle is inspected and once again registered a normal title will be issued. === === == The above answer is correct until the last sentence. When a car is in an accident, flooded or sometimes even stolen/recovered (things vary from state to state) and the repairs exceed 75% of the car's value it is totaled and issued a salvage title. Once a car is issued a salvage title it can not legally be made "clean" again, only salvage/reconstructed or totaled/reconstructed depending on how a state words it. Unscrupulous sellers can always find an illegal/unethical away around this but since a reconstructed car(i.e. a salvage car that has been rebuilt to roadworthy standards) is worth 40% less than a comparable clean titled car, buyers need to beware and do their homework with Carfax, VIN and title number checks before they purchase any used car. Otherwise, they will pay too much for what they get. Salvage cars can sometimes be fine purchases, just pay the right price!
What can happen if after an At Fault accident the auto is totaled and you choose to cancel the insurance because you will not drive again and there are personal injury claims not settled?
If you were insured at the time of the accident, your insurance should pay up to the amount stated on your policy. It does not matter if you still have the insurance now. It is important that you had it on the daye of the accident.
How do you get a salvage auto title changed to a clean title?
In most states, a salvage title must be issued for any vehicle that has been deemed "totaled" or involved in an accident, settled with an insurance claim and then purchased for rebuilding and restoring to make it road worthy again. Once a salvage title it should remain that way from state to state if sold somewhere else. I have seen a Michigan "clean" titled issued for a Missouri " salvaged" titled vehicle but I think our state department didin't catch it. Carfax and Autocheck reports do show the history of these type of vehicles and there are some that slip thru the cracks of our paperwork society.

Do Mercedes Benz roll over in accidents?
mine flipped but not actually rolled. it landed on its drivers side. the damage to the outside really was not that much, in fact, pretty impressed...but the diagnostics was totaled and the insurance company said it would cost too much to fix so they totaled the vehicle. with the degree of the accident, we all walked away with no injuries, which again impressed me.
Can a totaled vehicle be insured again?
Once a car is totaled it is gone. Usually the insurance company takes the car for them to sell and get some extra money and if it is claimed as a totaled vehicle I would not recommend driving it on the street where you can hurt yourself or someone else.
