Yes you can.

To add to the answer yes you can, it comes with a caveat. A vehicle with a branded title is worth 35% less than that of a non-branded title as it relates to fair market value.

So, if you have a comprehensive or collision claim, it must be realized that the car does not have the same value as a vehicle with without a branded title. These vehicles are more apt to go total in the event of the claim.

The insurance company only has to make you whole and not better you.

Can you put full coverage insurance on a car with a salvage title car in Minnesota?

On every auto application, there is a question will ask: "Does the vehicle have a salvaged or branded title?" If this is the case, you will not be able to put full coverage, (comprehensive and collision coverage) on the vehicle. Sometime you can get special exceptions from your insurance carrier to get the full coverage put on if all damage was repaired. It is much harder to get full coverage on a salvaged title vehicle.

Does state farm insure salvage titles?

Yes they do as long as the car is in as good working condition as a used vehicle. I currently own a salvage title vehicle that was considered salvage through state farm.
