Major problem in that salvage title is that insurance companies, at
least my insurance company (Farmer's) will only write liability
insurance - no comp or collision, on salvage titled vehicles.  That's
why I raised hell when my Westy was hit and another insurance company
wanted to slap a salvage title on it.
