Subject:      Converting 'Salvage' to 'Clean' title? How honest is it?

Most people would complain if they bought a vehicle with
a 'clean' title and then later found out it was once a 'salvage' vehicle.

There are many reasons a vehicle could be salvage, flood , theft or physical
damage.

I bought a 1984 vanagon with a salvage title (due to theft), replaced the
missing pieces
(motor, tranny) and drove the car for 5 years after which it got sideswiped
and totaled again.

Drove it for another 6 months before I sold it to a guy who wanted a
'beater' to install a
Subaru motor in.

I was completely honest about the title history of the vehicle.
I remember a while back Ken Wilford was talking about getting a clean title
for.

Are we all being as honest about a vehicles past as we would expect another
seller to be?

Thanks
Tim
