I’ve had Gieco, State Farm and progressive insure rebuilt title with collision, comprehensive and liability without any issues. Gieco just wanted some photos. Not sure why people freak out.
So I don't understand NYS DMV's website it says you can drive a salvage car to the inspection station to get a rebuilt title so long as you have a valid registration, NYS Liability Insurance and temporary transport permit. But it says ALL OVER online that you cannot insure a salvage titled car....can you please help me understand this?
You should check with the dmv but I would guess they mean until it’s been inspected. If it’s repairs and you need to get it to them to inspect to make it a rebuilt title
I love how you explain things. One question. Let's say I'm a certified mechanic. I have a vehicle, that's insured, and maybe got into a minor accident. I carry it for repairs, and instead, I decide to change the body so that it looks like a totally different brand of car, by performing minor chassis mods, like from a 4 door to a 2 door. Can I still get the vehicle insured?
We bought a car that we didn’t know had a rebuilt title. We were surprised after we got in a wreck and seen the payout from the insurance company for the total loss. Be careful who you buy cars from.
Both are finished products. Restored is less likely there was a major accident. The biggest thing to check is the shop that rebuilt it. I've been in a few presentations where they show how shops save money on a rebuild which can't be seen but insurance paid for it.
You go to the DMV or SOS depending on your state and fill out the paperwork. You might be able to do it online nowadays. I think it’s called a salvage vehicles inspection form
@@ThinkInsurance turns out if I retained my vehicle the insurance takes the salvage price off the settlement price and they was $9k off the $19 so only $10k would go to my Liam of $24k and I’d still have to fix my car out of pocket and owe $14k to pay off, not really worth it to have a salvage or rebuilt title so I let them just total it out and let my GAP cover the rest
That is the way a lot of people do it since most companies are ok that route. The only difference is liability only won’t cover your car. There are limits and pieces you still pick but if you’re rear ended your insurance won’t help fix your car. You’ll have to go after the at fault party on your own.
@@ThinkInsurance gotchu you so pretty much gonna have to sue the person in the wrong but say it’s hit and run or something like that I’m pretty much screwed might just have to get that full coverage then
Do not go with progressive worst insurance for totaled car payout lowballed by 1/3 of actual car worth had to apply appraisal clause nearly tripled to what they offered

@@ThinkInsurance Okay thanks :)
Great! Is rebuilt title car insurance more expensive than clean title car?
No but the value of the car is less so if you are allowed to carry full coverage it wouldn't pay out as much as if the car wasn't rebuilt.
@@ThinkInsurance Not true.

It’s normally ok but you might have to have a company that allows custom vehicles. You’ll do something like an agreed value. Haggerty is one option.
@@ThinkInsurance Thanks man!

Do you recommend buying restore or rebuild?
Both are finished products. Restored is less likely there was a major accident. The biggest thing to check is the shop that rebuilt it. I've been in a few presentations where they show how shops save money on a rebuild which can't be seen but insurance paid for it.
How do you get it listed as a rebuilt title?
You go to the DMV or SOS depending on your state and fill out the paperwork. You might be able to do it online nowadays.

Hey I like your videos👍 I just got progressive insurance watched your snapshot video
That’s awesome! Thanks for hanging out :0)
Does American Family insure rebuilt title
Based on what I was able to find, yes
What if I got a salvage title and just go with liability what does that cover for example someone rear ends me what will that liability cover ?
That is the way a lot of people do it since most companies are ok that route. The only difference is liability only won’t cover your car. There are limits and pieces you still pick but if you’re rear ended your insurance won’t help fix your car.

Yes, hit and run you’re out of Luck there. You need uninsured motorist property damage for that or collision depending on the state

I've seen them pay out more than they should. It has a little to do with can the owner talk.
