You first need to change the title to a salvage tile. You can go from salvage to rebuilt but with a Junk title you can not. to get a salvage tile for a Junk you need to find a state that converts Junk to salvage. Usually because the state does not have a junk title. after it is salvage you need to have it inspected in your State to make sure it meets all Vehicle title Service company that has a guaranteed title service. they will have experience with this process.
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.
Do you mean salvaged title? http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/cit_title/v_title_special.html Also from the state of New Jersey website regarding junk vs. salvage titles: Q. What is the difference between a junk title and a salvage title? A. A junk title is issued to a "public agency" (police department, municipality, etc.) for junk vehicles found abandoned on roadways. Once a junk title is issued, the vehicle can never be re-titled for use on the road. A salvage title is issued when a vehicle has been declared a total loss (through collision, flood, fire, theft, etc.) by an insurance carrier or owner. The salvage title is necessary in order to dispose of or sell the vehicle to a junkyard or dealer. If a vehicle with a salvage title is repaired and passes inspection, it can be re-titled for use on the road.
it needs to be inspected and changed from salvage title to reg title but who sold you the car should be able to sign it off. if not find out what your state needs for reg. 2nd You can never have a clean title on a salvage title. it's illegal and cant be done legally. I'm not sure about a junk title. That may be a title than can never be registered again. In South Carolina, the titles are blue, but a junk title is red, and vehicles with red titles can never be put back on the road.
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.
A vehicles need a title to be registered/insure, show that you are the rightful owner. The year of the vehicle has no baring on needing to have a title. If the vehicle is from a junk yard, or totaled, a "salvage title" is available.
Most states Have a change of ownership form you can send in. This notifies the state that you sold your automobile. Another thing is always make sure the junk yard/junk buyer is a licensed salvage dealer. This is important because a licensed salvage dealer has to send your tittle in to the state notifying them that the automobile was purchased by a salvage deeler, so in turn the auto is taken out of your name.
All salvage yards should have a service that picks up your junk for free.
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.
Junk or Salvage Yards?
yes junk yards have a form you have to fill out thoughYou can also check with different "salvage" companies about this.ANSWER:If you can't find your paperwork/title of your junk car? Some Junkyard' s are knowledgeable will guide you through the junk car removal process specific to your needs. Just let them know when you call or request your quote online and they'll be happy to assist you in obtaining the proper documentation required.
Depending on the state the answer is no. If you are in CA, AZ, CO, NY I know you must disclose that the vehicle has a salvage title. As a private seller you are selling the car as-is but if your car was recently totaled/salvaged but you sold the car with the old clean title, that would be unethical. If I purchased the car from you and later could prove you knew of the salvage title I would certainly sue you and would probably win! What about a if someone sell me a "junk title" car without telling me, and I can show that they knew about it ?
