You will also need to check with the Department of Motor vehicles to see what you will need to do concerning registering a car with a salvage title and also check with your insurance agent. In NY for example, a car with a salvage title is treated as a custom build and has to go through the same inspection process to make sure that the car is road worthy. It might also be something that comes down the road if you go to sell the vehicle and a potential prior owner finds out the car had a salvage title.

It would have to be a verrrrry good price for me to consider purchasing something with a salvage title. States and circumstances vary, just be cautious. I also wonder why it was auctioned as opposed to repaired? The original estimate may have been pretty high, or possibly the insurance company water to take possession so that they could get some of their money back at auction?

If you can contact the original owner that might help.
