HOW TO TAKE A CAR FROM SALVAGE TITLE TO REBUILT

[ElmerAlmonte]

Thank you, Bought a car in April 2020 and followed your instructions for Ohio. Bought my car for $6k got a Rebuilt Title and sold it for a good profit in Dayton, Ohio.

Hooray, I'm up to date with your build.
Although this video isn't really relevant to me living in the UK, it was still informative.
Here in the UK we don't have the same amount of red tape as you do in the USA, although you can only put cat C and D back on the road, but once you have re-built it, it still has to go through an MOT (Ministry Of Transport Test) so that it can legally be driven on the road (cost about $50, but you can get it done cheaper in some places)
The good thing about the UK is that you don't have different laws and rules for each region (state), the same rules apply throughout the whole country regarding vehicles


Up to October 2015, all cars notified to the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licencing Authority) as ‘written off’ within salvage categories A, B or C were required to pass a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC), conducted by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), before the DVLA would issue a registration certificate V5C (vehicle registration document). Now, a VIC test is no longer required and only category C vehicles can apply for a V5C. (Cat D will still have a V5C and only needs a change of ownership)


Here is a list of the categories in the UK (if you ever wondered)


Category A
This classification is for cars that have been so badly damaged they should be crushed and never re-appear on the road. They are only suitable for scrap. Even salvageable parts must be destroyed.
Category B
This signifies extensive damage, although some parts are salvageable. The vehicle should never re-appear on road, however reclaimed parts can be used in other road-going vehicles.
Category C
This vehicle is repairable but the costs exceed the vehicle’s value. They can re-appear on road once repaired.
Category D
The vehicle is repairable but repair costs are significant compared to the value, including any time delays to source parts. These vehicles can re-appear on road.

There are two other categories, U and X. Category U vehicles are not owned by an insurance company and may have sustained accident damage. Be aware that they are not governed by the ABI (Association of British Insurers) categorisation guidelines, so unlikely to have been reported to the Motor Insurance Anti-Fraud Theft Register (MIAFTR).

Category X does not appear as an official label but can be considered the most desirable of salvage category, because after repair there is no record of the initial damage and cars are not recorded on the Hire Purchase Inspection (HPI) register.


Obviously all vehicles on UK roads must have insurance and road fund licence (there are some vehicles that get free road fund licence) before they can be driven.


Looking forward to your next project

3:07 i'm glad to hear this!! I'm in the same boat now and being taxed ontop of all those extra fees from copart would be crazy!

Do they check for airbag lights in the dash during inspection? I replaced the airbag but the light is still on.
Also The car was hit from the front and core support is pushed in slightly on one side. Would it be a problem?
Radiator, condenser and headlights are all good and in place.
Thanks again.

Indiana process is similar accept no running around. Only have a police officer inspect the repairs & sign off. Next all the paperwork you will fill out with receipts w/ proof & mail to BMV w/ payment

[evanmelton]

Great video! Very helpful. I do have a question though. Did you drive the car without tags or registration or anything to the BMV and for the state police inspection, or did you have to tow it to those places? I’m in PA and will be buying a PA a salvage car, curious if I could drive it to those places instead of renting a trailer again.

Great video I do have a few Question does the state of Ohio put your car on a rack to inspect the underneath or just a drive thru ? I bought a car not knowing it was not a r built title and still just a salvage title it’s already an Ohio title and in my name. However I did heavily modified it over fenders, lower suspension, trans swap. My question is I am finding out the inspection is for proof of ownership of vehicle and parts and I bought. everything was purchased new online and my buddy gifted me the transmission are they going to check all of that? Do I just provide every receipt for even all mechanical parts? Do they check for airbags, horn? I have a good size dent size of basketball in the door is that a problem ? Thanks any info helps

[HmHaroon]

Thanks for your video. Really helpful.
I have a question if you buy ha hail damage salvage, can you get it rebuilt title without fixing it? Since it’s just a cosmetic damage.
Thanks

My son bought a truck. He was living with my bff and her bf. The bf handled everything, Also the bf is a mechanic. At the time they all lived in south Carolina, at the time of purchase my son was visiting me in new jersey so he sent the money to the bf. The bf rebuilt the truck. My son never met the owner of the vehicle, my son also didn't know it was a salvage, he also didn't change title over. Things went sour my son came back to NJ. The truck still hasn't been changed over cuz my son hasn't got his license yet ofc due to the pandemic. I'm trying to find out what documents he absolutely needs to get the title in his name? Thanks so much!!

Great content 😁 but recently tags have now been increased by $5 and in my county it’s normally $54 for my annual tags now just in last month it was $59 + tax so for 2 cars it cost around $118 and some change

[smileyk]

Do u sell or buy are for people from coparts if they pay u? I live in Minnesota and looking to come to Ohio to buy a SUV since it 2000 cheaper there

[flgator]

Roughly how much should I pay for a rebuilt title 2018 Nissan Rougue Midnight? So glad I found your channel. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[Dr.pikachuu]

I have a question when your buying parts do they have to be new and pretty or functional and somewhat parts? When getting the inspection

[abderrahimdarouich]

Thanks for the video, good content. Is the process the same for flooded cars? And since you need to drive it to the final inspection do you need to have it insured? If yes how to! since it's still salvage not passed rebuild process yet?

[salmanali]

For NY Salvage Inspection, would window tints cause an issue?

[AutoCareTips]

What about if I had paid tax when I bought the vehicle in different state. Do I still have to pay tax?

[gqbme]

You make me wanna do a video on my copart cars

[Norrisbrett]

Going through this process now. Do they check for a check engine light or run a scanner on the obd2 during the state police inspection? Thanks
