I'm going through the process in Ohio on weds.  I believe majority of states
have a similar process. I bought an 85 vanagon that has a salvage title.
The reason it has a salvage title is because it was impounded and then sold
at a police auction.  For some reason they make it a salvage title.  I have
to take it to the state troopers to get it inspected and after it passes I
can get plates.  I believe the title after the salvage title is always
branded as salvage, but who really cares.  I don't plan to sell it or if I
do I'll just tell them why.  I wasn't in an accident or anything.

But I let you all know what happens weds.
