Why does this car have a reconstructed title?
If by reconstructed title you are referring to a vehicle that had a prior salvage title, I would think you could, contact an agent in your area. == Absolutely! No problem whatsoever. Keep in mind that a reconstructed car is worth roughly 60% of the value of a similar car with a clean title so if you total the car you will get less than real market value but hopefully you paid less for the car so it won't matter.
depends on where you live, if you live in NY then you need to transfer the title to a NY salvage title. Then, you can apply for a reconstructed title there. Here in NJ, dont have a "reconstructed title". you have to apply for a salvage inspection so that theyll give you a clear title.
no, once it has a reconstructed title it will always be...
Nope. Not legally anyway. The best you can do is totaled/reconstructed' if the car is roadworthy. Once issued a salvage title a car can never be issued a clean title legitimately.
60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
40% LESS than a comparable clean titled car
Once a salvage always a salvage or totaled/reconstructed; you cannot legally get a clear title the brand will remain. A reconstructed and roadworthy salvage car is worth 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car. If it's still salvage maybe 25% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
If you find a state that does not have reconstructed titles, and register the vehicle there, you may be able to do it.
Hmmm... you bought a car without getting a title? NOT a good idea. The title will state whether the car is clean or salvage or totaled/reconstructed. If you didn't get the title when you purchased the car you better make sure the car wasn't stolen. Call the state DMV with the VIN number for starters. They'll be able to give you some info on the car and the title.
A reconstructed title refers to a vehicle that was previously salvaged or deemed a total loss by an insurance company due to damage. After being repaired to meet state safety standards, the title is then branded as reconstructed to indicate that the vehicle was once considered a total loss but has since been restored.
If it's still salvage about 20% of the value of a comparable clean titled car. If it's reconstructed/roadworthy about 60%
