I live in NY, and I registered my car in VT (because they allow out of state registration) to avoid tedious salvage inspection laws.  Now I am finding that I can't get insurance.  I figured this would happen but I thought there would be a loophole.  

Having researched this over and over again, I can't seem to find information on insurance regulations pertaining to this.  Thus, I can't find an answer to my dilemma.

Anyone have any suggestions or information, either legal or otherwise?

well, i live in michigan now, but have my car registered and insured in florida.  I have proof of residency in florida (my mom and stepdad live there...and so did I up until a few weeks ago)  I think the only way to get insured in a state is to have a proof of residency there.

Be vawy vawy carefull. I had a friend who had his car registered in VA but lived in MD (Maryland has higher rates) and his car was stollen....needless to say he is paying a car note for a vehicle that he no longer has <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
Edit: I have my car registered in Ohio and insured in VA. &nbsp;I didn't have any probs either
Is it because of the salvage title? &nbsp;Try calling the Hartford insurance they were really cool w/ me

nrcooled, what did you say or rather how did you explain your situation when you first got your policy rolling? &nbsp;Is Hartford Ins. all over the place? &nbsp;Maybe there is a ray of light! &nbsp;(my salvage title has nothing to do with insurance, just state inspection procedures)

They really didn't ask any questions. &nbsp;All they wanted was the VIN and car make model etc. &nbsp;They are nationwide also. &nbsp;It was a pretty simple process and the rates were pretty low also $156/month for two cars. &nbsp;I suggest you give them a call
