> [@Zer0DazE](#): > > anyone picked up something that was totalled, rebuilt it, and registered it? my prizm has a salvage title. i know that once its done the car has to pass a pretty detailed nys inspection before you get the salvage title so you can register it. i had my dads homie who owns a body shop rebuily my prizm and he took care of it all for me so i dont know any more detail then that. but i did save an assload of money and got a great, super low mileage daily for really cheap :tup: ---

there is a whole bunch of paperwork you have to go through, and once you rebuild it you have to fill it all out, and then they set you up with a date to take it in for a specialty inspection before they allow you to register it. thats basically all it takes. they inspect the car VERY thouroughly to make sure everything is in order and mechanically sound with no signs of the previous damage. ---

Hate to bump this up, but my car has been inspected and the title will be in the mail soon, My question is when i go to the DMV, do i need a sales receipt saying i paid the sales tax if the title is already in my name? or do i just need insurance card, mv-82 form, and the title with my name on it? ---

if title is already in your name, why would you have to prove you paid tax, that should be plenty of proof lol ---
