Hi, I was hoping someone can help me on here.

I'm purchasing a car in California that has a title that states "Salvage Certificate". can i use this document as a title to the vehicle or do i need to get a "salvage title".

I tried contacting the DMV in California but they don't accept calls from outside of the state. Also, I tried to call Oregon to see if i can get a trip permit and they said I have to get it from the titling state.

the car was a salvage car that has been repaired and is drivable.

Any help would be great, I sent in the salvage certificate to US customs and will call tomorrow to see if its good to go or not.

Has anyone else purchased a car with a Salvage Certificate???? not salvage title.
