Not trying to ruin your day but you have to remember, a totaled car=salve title which makes it harder to register and also little to no resale value in most areas. Just think before you buy.

We will never get what we put into our cars anyway

so if he got a quote and the ins. wants to total it, but instead he sells it to me...is it still totaled? if i fix it then what it will just be a rebuilt salvage title?? either way 1k is good for me, specially for an s14. i know i would never get back what i put into it, i was just curious, u did bring up a good question for me

If the insurance settles on it, it will have a salvage title. He will then have to purchase it back from the insurance company to sell it to you.

Im not sure about AZ laws, but here, registering a car with a salvage title is a real pain. The car has to go through an inspection by the state police and they tend to nit pic everything.

If everything passes inspection, it can be reregistered but then you will probably have trouble finding a company to insure the car. Insurance companies do want to cover a car that already has a salvage title. I would check these things out before you purchase the car. It could end up costing more than its worth.
