Hello all,
I Bought a car which had an accident in Ohio, considered total loss,
but sold by the insurer with a clean title at the auction lot in Michigan.
It was retitled afterwards with a clean Michigan title which has the same 75% repair/value threshold for damaged cars as NY.
The car's value was shown as ~$45000 with repairs being estimated at ~$25000 with the final cost of repair being ~25%. This making me believe that the clean title is legit and wasn't washed.
History of the title:
Ohio title - clean
Michigan title - clean
Feb. Accident, sold at auction
Mar.Michigan title - clean.
Looking up the VIN on Michigan and Ohio's DMV websites, both state that the titles have always been clean.
Am I overstressing myself?
