What is the best way to insure a car with a salvage title?

We Answered:

I would believe that most states are the same but don't know, i'm speaking from california. There is nothing wrong with a salvaged tiltle it's intention is to put the buyer on notice that it has had significant damage-totaled. Now what this means is that a car with a salvaged title will generally not be as valuable, buyers would prefer a car with a clear title. My insurance company, the largest in the state and the u.s. has no problem insuring salvaged vehicles but keep in mind if that car is stollen it is the value of a salvaged vehicle your intitled too. Rates aren't higher you pay the same rates but in a sense they are higher since in the event of a total loss you'll get less. As to the question can you get retitled not in california.
