Totaled 240 Legal Question

[DataXUnknown]

Ok I need some input here.

I tried looking around for a simple answer to this question, to no avail. Here is the story quick and short.

I got into and accident, it wasn't my fault, insurance company gave me about $2,000 and I went on my merry way. Is my car still legal to drive right now? I never went to the DMV to get any certifications or anything yet. My tags are still good until June 2008. The insurance company says I'm still insured for it too.

The car was a total loss, but I wanted to keep the car.

I'm in CA so I'm pretty sure they are damn strict.

Oh yeah, and the damage was simply some fender damage that I fixed myself and used the money to buy an SR20DET because my SOHC had blown.

Its your car I don't see why not, are you thinking about the title being slavaged or not?

I don't care if the title is salvage, I just want to be able to drive it legally. I know I'm supposed to get some kind of certifications and the salvage title, but I wanna know if like I can just keep driving it until registration comes up for renewal, and then get all that junk.

yes the car is still legal to drive it will just be a salvage title now. my room mate had a his car hit while it was parked on the side of the street and destroyed the rear quarter panel. the insurance totaled it and gave him money for the car and we fixed the damage and its now a salvage title thats being drove around. i also live in CA btw
