That must be disclosed if it has a salvaged title. Now if the insurance did not register it as a salvaged title then there will be no records of it with the state. But if is something you would found out as you were registering the auto then you need to go back to where you bought it and question them .. I would even Do free consultation with an attorney in your area to see what your state laws are on the subject ..kr
Good Luck!

If it was done honestly it would have salvage title on the title. Legally, you are supposed to be informed about this, there are papers you must sign to acknowledge this and show that it was explained to you. I do not know the laws in your state but I suspect that the laws are much in the same across the nation. I would say that you have a right to file suit and get your money back if you were not informed before the purchase.

If it is from a dealer, you can take it back in that first 30 days, unless they managed to slip the form into your papers saying that you were told it had a salvage history. They will frequently slip that paper in the middle of the forms you are signing in hopes that you will sign that one too. I have seen it happen while working in dealerships. ALWAYS get a VIN check (Carfax) on any used car you get. You are out of luck for a private party sale.

The best source for your answer is http://www.dmv.org to find your local motor vehicle office, from there determine what the salvage title law is. Also, contact your state police office and seek information from them. You should be able to obtain enough information from these two sources to determine where you stand legally. Also look up "salvage title law" for your state and gain that information.
I don't know the final answer, but i do believe in following the trail until the needed information is found.

Depends how long ago and from who? with in the first 30 days from a dealer new or used take it back. From some individual who left town right after selling the car "not so much" Now you learned a valuable lesson didn't you?

My son-in-law bought one from a dealer, Had a car-fax report saying it was clean, when he went to insure it, they told him it had been wrecked THREE times, Totaled TWICE!,( it was an '05 i think) The dealership had to take it back, Son-in-law had no negative on credit due to this, and got another, better car for the same money! So, do not let those dealers rip you off.

i could be wrong, but you may be able have a 'friend' put a mechanics lean on the car, and 30 days later, your 'friend' can then get a 'new' title and then you may proceed accordingly. Your best bet is to contact your Bureau/Department of Motor Vehicles.

depends on the state -- if you got it from a private party ur screwed -- but if from a dealer and they did'nt know the past,
you might be able to get (some if any) monies back -- funny you did not do a check on the VIN number -- Byer Beware
