Ok I thought I'd post a thread on here to see if maybe any of you know if there's anything I can do that maybe I don't know. My situation is this: My car was stolen and stripped a while back, and when I made the insurance claim on it, my insurance totalled the car, based on the fact that the value of the car was less than the amount it would cost them to have it repaired. Well it wasn't completely stripped, I loved the car, and wanted it back, so I "bought it back" from insurance at the salvage price, they put a salvage title on it, and I restored it. Ok well when my dad originally helped me get the car, he bought it on a credit card rather than cosign a loan with me, ive since been squandering in the interest on the card, and am tired of it altogether, so I want to take out an automobile loan against my car, basically purchase it from my dad, and use the money to get rid of the credit card. So heres what I'm curious about: Is it possible to get the salvage off my title? Because isnt that technically a warning to protect people from buying cars that have been wrecked? Mine only has it cuz it got stripped of some parts that came out to be greater than the value of the car. I'm also curious if anyone knows if there are companies that will underwrite loans for the Appraised value of the car rather than blue book? Thanks for the help...
