wtf? cleaning a salvage title?

I didn't know this was possible. This makes me think carfax reports are kinda useless. It definately makes me think twice about buying used cars

This car does have an salvage title. However if you are in California, I will get you a clean title at no extra cost, you only need to pay for the regular tax and registration fee.

easiest way is to jump states because each state has its own guidelines for what is a salvage.

Register in Florida, then back in CA. Bam - no more salvage title. That's why you should never, ever, ever, ever, (etc) buy a car w/out THOROUGHLY checking it out.

Note: Many states transfer this information, so if you are interested in being a piece of ish poopyheaded fart-knocker and screwing over a hapless individual, you should probably do your homework first.
