What happens if you buy a car unaware of salvage title?
what happens if you buy a car unaware of salvage title? well, if it was from a dealer you have recourse. if it's from a private seller, too bad...UNLESS they sold you the car with a clean title when they knew it was salvage. did you look at the title before you bought the car? if it was clearly branded as salvage or totaled you're out of luck but if it was a clean title when it actually wasn't you can try and get a refund from the seller or sue. If you sue you will have prove the seller knew the title was salvage at the time of sale. good luck!!
Where can you register a fixed car that was bought from auction as junk parts only?
Only if it's a clean title. If it's a "salvage title" then you will have to call the D.O.T. and have the state inspector come out and give it a look over before you can get a clean title for it again.
Can you trade in a salvage title car?
Yes, but you won't get much for it - even if it's been restored to look like new you'll still only get around 40-50% of the value of a comparable car with a clean title. Probably better to sell it privately.
If a vehicle is purchased as a salvage and then it is damaged in a collision how is the insurance value determined?
The same way it is for a clear title, the adjuster will look at what similar cars with a similar amount of damage have sold for as salvage in the area. A salvage vehicle that's been restored to roadworthiness is roughly worth 40% less than a comparable clean titled car. That should give you some idea of where to start. Go to nada.com to determine the car's value.
You bought a car from a dealer he did not disclose that the car has a salvage title is there any recorse?
Not all states require a salvage title. Any recourse would have to be determined by the laws of the state in which you currently reside. If your state does require a salvage title, then the dealer is responsible for making sure you have that information. A lot of dealers buy vehicles from auction houses around the country and they may have gotten a vehicle that they didn't know that information or the state where it was purchased didn't require a salvage title. So you will need to look at your state laws and also the total history of the vehicle to see what laws apply.
What kind of damage should you anticipate in a used car with a salvage title?
Depends on what the salvage title was issued for. Some are for damaged vehicles that were totalled by insurance companies..... Others are from mechanic's leins because customers did not pay the mechanic...... And others are because the owner forfeited the vehicle to the police because of a DUI, some vehicle impounding or abandoned vehicle. A salvaged title could mean anything from a bumper that was damaged so much that once it was resold it had to be salvaged to a car almost being totaled and has a frame that is welded big time. If you have a specific vehicle in mind, try doing a search on the vin number and there are sites that will give you the history of the vechicle. good luck. == Buying a salvage car is the same as buying any used car. Have it inspected by a pro prior to purchase. Things to look for are frame damage, correct bodywork and doors that open and close properly and don't leak. A carfax is helpful but the info can be delayed or incomplete so don't bank on it. Run the VIN thru your local DMV to make sure the car is titled to the person selling it, too! I have purchased 2 salvage/reconstructed cars and they've both been great values and excellent cars. Older salvage vehicles are safer bets than new ones since it doesn't take much to total a car that's only worth $4000. A newer car that's been salvaged could have sustained over $15K in damage and that's major! Think about this: a new car is rear ended and sustains $5000 in damage; it gets to keep its clean title. An eight year old car with the same damage would end up with a salvage title. Same damage, different title. A clean title, therefore, does not mean a clean title, it just means the car was worth enough money when it was damaged. A clean title does not mean a clean car. At least a salvage title is honest about its prior damage! Lesson: Never buy a newer salvage car and never trust a newer used car to be clean. Have every used car you buy inspected by a pro and if it checks out ok and the price is right buy it! Keep in mind that reconstructed/salvage cars are worth 40% less that comparable clean titled cars so don't pay too much!

What is a vehicle salvage title?
This means the car was in a wreck and the insurance company considered it a total loss. The insurance company paid the owner off and then sold the car as a salvage. This car may infact be tow or even three vehicles put together and sold under a salvage title based on the engine id number matching the title. Beware, a salvaged title indicates the structural, mechanical integrity of the car may not be up to manufacturer and federal safety mandates. However, in some cases the vehicle can be totaled and considered a salvage if the less extensive damage to the car is more costly than it's value. This often happens when a car is older. The only way to know what you are getting in a salvaged titled car is to have an independent, trusted mechanic/body shop look it over carefully.
