I am in Illinois... researching a little... it would need to Pass inspections at state testing facility--- IF it is less than 8 years old.
BUT-- could find NO Info/ reading - on the case where the car is OLDER than 8 years old.
I don't know why... but could guess that- it is easier for Insurance- to "Trash most" cars that are say 12 years old+ cuz Most are worth less than the repair bill... so PERHAPS- that why the Illinois law- states - 8 years or less??? Just a guess.
next question- was it difficult to insure -- with SALVAGE on title? for safety reasons?
