If you have found your stolen vehicle at a salvage yard, you need to call the police immediately. Automobile theft and receiving stolen goods are both criminal offenses.
In the U.S., Auto Insurance companies do not salvage a vehicle. If the vehicle claim is paid out as a total loss it is sold or auctioned off to a salvage or a junk yard. The junk yard may crush the vehicle for scrap metal value or salvage parts from the vehicle or even to re-title the car on a salvage title but this is totally up to the salvage yard or whomever the yard then re-sells the vehicle too.
Not much, but if the salvage yard listens to your story and has pity on you, maybe out of the kindness of their heart they will refund your money minus any handling fee, but don't count on it.
Go to the state Motor Vehicle office, where you would normally register a vehicle. There may be extra steps to take to get title for a salvaged vehicle. Don't buy cars without getting a title. EVER. If the car was stolen you may have to return it.
When you bought the salvage, the junk yard should've given you a 'salvage' title. You don't buy cars without getting a title. Talk to your state DMV and hopefully it's not stolen! Good luck.
DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF TITLE THE VEHICLE HAS IF IT HAS A CLEAR TITLE THEN NO IF IT HAS A SALVAGE TITLE THEN YES
depends on your state laws. Most states require you to have a TITLE for every vehicle on your yard. that eliminates any questions about stolen vehicles.
its when 70% of a vehicle has either been damaged or wrecked, and insurance has classified it as a total loss. in some rare cases the salvage title could be issued to a stolen vehicle
The first thing you need to do is call your local police department and give them the vin and ask them if the vehicle is stolen. You dont want to get caught trying to get a title for a stolen vehicle. Why would someone just give a car away when they can take it to a salvage yard and get a couple hundred bucks for it.
Depends on the existing title, if the salvage company owns the vehicle and it does not have a salvage title then they would be just another owner like anyone else and this vehicle would have a clean title assuming that there are no lean holders. On the other hand if the vehicle in question has already received a salvage/non repairable or similar title then salvage/non repairable or similar title would follow the vehicle not a clean title.
