switching salvage title to clear title
It IS A LEGAL PROCESS IN NEARLY EVERY STATE IN THE UNITED STATES TO REPAIR A SALVAGE TITLED CAR/TRUCK !! There's nothing illegal about it. As long as you go thru the legal process. And if the shop that does the repair is reputable,, it's usually closer than the factory in regards to the overall specs. I've repaired many. And it has to be inspected by 'State Inspectors' (that know they're job very well) , and they go over the car with 5 fine tooth combs. Checking measurements you wouldn't even imagine, AND IF THESE MEASUREMENTS DON'T MAKE , THEN NO TITLE AND IT'S DEEMED NOT ROAD WORTHY. . and lots of paper work. Also most all insurance companys today will insure this "repaired/re-titled car as a normal valued car. NO cut rate pay off if your involved in a accident because it was once a salvage titled car. Which confirms what I'm saying here, if it passes state inspection it's deemed road worthy,and as good as it was before the accident. So if your considering buying this truck, just do your own inspection, or have a body shop put it on a frame machine, if this would ease your mind. I think you'll find everything is as good as new. AND IF YOUR STATE IS ONE OF THE STATES THAT REMOVE THE SALVAGE OFF YOUR TITLE, SO BE IT. Also, it can be sold out-of-state, after you own it and if it's sold to one of those states that automatically removes the salvage stamp, it's gone forever, it's out of your/our control. Every state has they're own/different laws, again, it's out of our controll..That's your state government at work. I don't agree with that, 'BUT IT'S STILL NOT ILLEGAL' if your state removes it,,, but if it bothers any of you out there, write to your governor/congressman and complain to them. You CAN re-build a salvage car/truck in the state of California, and Arizona, but the salvage will remain on the title, unless it's sold out-of-state to one of the states that remove it. THAT'S NOT "WASHING A TITLE" OR DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL.IT'S WHAT EACH STATE DOES... MAN, I sure hope before everyone gets carried away here, this clears this up. Good luck......:toothy10::toothy10:
