notice what state it was in when it was "totalled". PA is the WORST state when you are dealing with ANYTHING with the DMV...... the worst!!

in fact, if it had been in another state, it might not have been "totalled".

(insurance rules differ from state to state and PA is one of the most stringent)

this is one of the things i hate about PA.. the pennDOT/DMV and its Bureaucratic red tape.

chris in pa..obviously :(

As I understand it, once a vehicle has had a salvage title issued, you can only insure it for liability. That knocks the value of the vehicle down a peg or two.
