If you buy a car with a salvaged title will your insurance sky rocket?
I have a salvage/reconstructed car right now with liability andcomprehensive. Since a reconstructed car is worth toughly 40% lessthan a comparable clean titled car I will be p…aid 40% less if thecar is totaled again plus any credit for any verifiable upgrades(car alarm, fresh sound system, etc). Rates will not skyrocket, butyou will be paid if you trash the car, so don’t pay too much for itin the very first place and make sure it is a good car – get are-purchase inspection by a pro. .
Of course it is going to skyrocket.Not only will it go up butthe amount paid to you in the event of an accident is not evenworth paying the premiums of insurance at all.Who knows if you willeven get paid by the insurance company.The rates are all a scamanyways just like fresh car prices.You should not buy a salvagetitled vehicle anyways.There are a lot of things that can be wrongwith the car that you are not made aware of and may cost youthrough the roof to get it repaired decently on top of the inflatedrates for bad coverage you wont get. .
Vehicles with a “salvage title” are seen as being worth less(or worthless) compared to the same vehicle with a “clean title”.This has nothing to do with the actual quality or condition of thevehicle itself (indeed, i have a duo salvage title cars whichwere a fine bargain and very reliable). The insurance rates willmost likely be approximately the same, but in the event of anaccident and insurance settlement, the vehicle will be consideredby the insurers as almost entirely valueless. When it comes tosalvage title vehicles (as with any used vehicle) buyer beware. .
When you purchase a repairable vech ( the decision inbetween aparts only and repairable is the insurance co) .
In Mass prior to being able to register and insure the car.you musthave it investigated by the State Police after its beenrepaired .
Once this has been done your good to go. .
As for the cars value, yes the title does state,”reconstructed” former salvage. .
When you insure the car, you pay the same rate for insurance assomeone who has a clean title. .
If you paid less for insurance it would indicate that the caris worthless than another with a clean title. but the insurance codoesnt permit for that. if they attempt to pay don’t lodge they mustpay you on the book value (minus any prexisting harm) .
Example; Car is stolen and recovered after 30 days, holder hasbeen paid for the car, its sold for salvage but with a repairabletitle .
If the insurance company has a problem with paying a claim on asalvage car maybe, they should sell them for parts onlyAll of the above is not necessarily correct. .
I guess different states have different laws. I drive a carthat has a salvage title. I didn’t have to have the vehicleinspected by the state police after it was repaired. I didn’t haveto have anyone look at the car. I have utter coverage insurance onthe vehicle, and I dot pay any more than I do for any of my othervehicles. Also, the car is the best, most reliable used vehicle Ihave ever wielded. I have been driving it for over a year and Ihaven’t put any money in it for anything other than upkeep andgas. .
Laws regarding salvage cars vary from state to state. Areconstructed salvage car is worth less than a comparable cleantitled car (KBB doesn’t ever value them) and insurance will likelypay you less for it if it’s totaled again (how much so varies butsomewhere around 40% less than a clean titled counterpart is a goodguess plus credit for upgrades with receipts). Your insurancedoes not skyrocket, however. Keep in mind that none of thisreally matters if you paid a reasonable price for the car to beginwith (say, 40% less than a comparable clean titled car), so shouldyou total the car, you should get a fair cash out from theinsurance company. I own a salvage/reconstructed car and just putcomprehensive and liability on it since the car’s not worth muchanyway. But boy, it’s the best car I’ve ever wielded and it’s beentrouble-free! .
Only buy salvage cars that are at least 8 years old since itdoesn’t take much to total/salvage an older car since they’re notworth much. Now some states salvage theft recovery vehicles – thesemake excellent purchases but again, they are devalued in the marketdue the branded title so don’t pay retail for them even thoughthere may be no harm whatsoever. .
Depending on your state, the vehicle may not be eligible forfull coverage. Reminisce that a salvage title means that the car hasalready been announcedtotaledand most likely it was aninsurance agency that did so. These vehicles have already been paidout to someone and a vehicle that was paid out as totaled will notbe paid out again. Texas does not fully cover salvage vehicles. Youcan get liability coverage; you may get uninsured/under-insuredbodily injury; uninsured/under-insured property harm might beavailable for vehiclecontents . .
I’ve rebuilt/wielded a number of totaled cars in Indiana. Therules do vary greatly from state to state. In Indiana anyone canrebuild a totaled car. All that is required is a police inspectionfor stolen parts. Illinois only permits licensed re-builders torebuild cars. Sometimes the salvage brand seems totally random. Allmost all stolen recovered cars get branded salvage and mileage notactual. Here the brand can be liquidated with insurance company wavieron stolen recovered bruised less than a certain % of value as longas the title doesn’t say mileage not actual. .
I’ve never had an insurance issue, but I’ve never made a claim.The insurance costs were the same as a regular car. I did have abuddy with a rebuilt Suburban that was stolen and never recovered.The insurance company would not pay total book value because of thebranded (salvage) title. As I recall, he got about 20% under bookvalue. .
Rebuilt cars can be a good value, but favor people who keeptheir cars for long periods of time. Usually the warranties arevoided. They can be hard to sell because banks usually won’tfinance branded cars and people are skeptical. I’ve had no troublesselling mine, but they were nice cars 6-10 years old and worth lessthan $4000 when I sold them. A $Ten,000 rebuilt can be a very hardsell.

In California will any insurance co insure a car with a salvage title?
Reaction .
Yes, but according to my insurance company, Nationwide, they won’t (and the rep I talked to said it was industry practice) cover comprehensive or collision- so you…‘ll be covered for any liability to inflict on other people/property, but any harm to the car itself, or theft, won’t be covered. Essentially, if the car is Salvaged, it has no value, so it won’t be insured..
Response .
Shop around. I think Geico and Progressive will do more than liability but recall – a salvage vehicle that’s been restored decently is only worth harshly 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car – so, depending on the age and condition and value of the car it might be best to just do liability coverage.

What will your insurance company cover on your salvage title car if in an accident?
in most states, even if a salvaged vehicle has been repaired it is still a ‘branded’ title…and thus worth less…….in the states i work in a fully repaired salvaged title …vehicle is worth anywhere from 30-50% less on a total loss, (reduces the actual cash value)……..now, if salvaged vehicle say is worth 4k and damages are 1k, then they will repair the bruised portion……

Liability, certainly. Comprehensive and Collision might not be worth what you would need to pay since they would only give you a fraction of the value of the vehi…cle if you were in another collision and the vehicle were to be written off again.

My car was totaled. it already has a salvaged title. what will the insurance pay?
It depends on many aspects, however since it already has a salvaged total it will be significantly lessened than if it didn’t already have a salvaged title. Your insurance com…pany should be able to give you specifics as to why they are suggesting what they do.
