Now, I'd buy a salvage-titled car in some circumstances. My mom has a CR-V with a salvage title and it's a fine car. She doesn't expect to resell it any time soon so the title is of little consequence.

But I'd never try to 'clean' the title. You can't even do it in most states.
I took interest in this when the complaint came out, and I couldn't find even one state that allows a clear title out of a salvage. And I don't think they should. It's dishonest. And my 92...thanks to some 17 year old with a cell phone, has a rebuilt title. I wouldn't even think of 'clearing" that title. Yeah, I went through the pain of rebuilt so I could register it again. But a clear title? It's just flat out dishonest.
