Salvage Title Problems
Hey everyone I just purchased a car from e-bay that had to be picked up in NY. It has a NJ Salvage Title. When I tried to get tags in Alabama I was told that I'd have to become a Dealer first. That has a great deal of expense to become a dealer/rebuilder just to get tags so that's out of the question. I was just wondering if any of you have any dealings with a salvage title before and how you may have resolved the problem?

Idea: go to a dealer and ask him to register the car for you..slip him a President or two.

I have never heard of that. I had a 1997 Honda Prelude that had a salvaged title and had no problem registering it in Alabama. The problem comes in when you have a certificate for a rebuilt title.
|
You have to have a rebuilder license in Alanbama to get a rebuilt title which is 10k dollars. If you have a friend lets say in Ohio you can have them take the car to get inspected to receive a rebuilt title and once that is done then you can get plates.

Wow, does anyone know if the same applies in Massachusetts? I could be purchasing a salvage vehicle in the near future from another state, with the intention of getting a rebuilt title after repairs.

Salvage title problems
I want to thank all of y'all for the responses, I can use all the help I can get. Does anyone have a dealer friend I could go too?

Hey do you have a dealer friend that I could go to?

This is what i do for a living. In ct the dmv does the inspection for you if you need the inspection done and they are telling u a dealer or repair shop can do it just bring the car to a shop if it can pass and have them register it. If it cant pass find a way to get a shop to sign off on it. Here we have to show the dmv inspectors the car. Your lucky you dont. Youll just have to do a little foot work but you dont need to become a dealer.

To rbermani. I believe in mass once the car has had repairs and has the rebuilt title you are good.

Do you have to be a resident of Ct to do this? and what does it cost there? |
Here check this link
http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?a=804&q=244912 The fee in ct is $88 and I believe all you need to prove residence in ct is a piece of postmarked mail with a ct adress. Vermont is the easiest state I know of to register vehicle. You dont even have to be a resident. |
