Totaled (but barely) 97 LSI : (
Hello, I regret to tell you that I was rear ended at the end of Oct. It's been determined a total loss because my airbags deployed and my windsheild broke.
I'll keep you guys posted as to what salvage yard it ends up in. The body really almost dosn't look like it's been in an accident. It needs new airbags and a windshield. Other than that it's all in good working order. Stupid hood rats in crown vics... |

Re: Totaled (but barely) 97 LSI : (
Some states are easier to re register a totaled car.. When my wife totaled out our 2004 Acura TL , the body man I talked to about buying it back said that in Conn. the car would go through a compleat nut and bolt inspection. If they find one thing not perfect ( even if it was not accident related ) you have to take it back and fix it to spec. He talked me out of it. Told me he would not take on the job if I decided to do it. He has been in business for 30 years.

Re: Totaled (but barely) 97 LSI : (
Rear- ended and deployed the airbags and broke the windshield? Did you get pushed into the back of another car or something?
In Utah there's nothing special required to re-register a totaled car at all. My '97 Legacy GT wagon was T-boned on the passenger side last summer and the insurance company totaled it out. I bought it back, put a couple of doors on it that *sort of* work (even though the B-pillar is pushed in a few inches and the rear door jamb and quarter panel is tweaked), had a standard safety inspection, and I drive it to this day. The State made me sign a form to apply for a new branded (salvage) title, but there was no inspection of the repairs beyond the standard safety inspection. (I did get an estimate to have it repaired properly and found the cost to be excessive in relation to the value of the car, so I just did the best I could with it.) |

So I bought the car and the title has a disclaimer on it that says previously salvaged and that is the extent of it. Fl makes you pay more and jump through some hoops I sold the car. |

Re: Totaled (but barely) 97 LSI : (
I'd love to buy it back and fix it up. However given the type of coverage i'd be able to have with a branded title. It would be putting all of my eggs in one fragile basket. I just can't afford it... I'll let you guy know what yard it ends up in. Someone else with deeper pockets might want to buy and fix it.
