um, currently it isn't, but if i were to decide to keep it and they give me so much for repairs, it would then be a salvage title, yes.

Well that muddied the water. Is the car not yours? Why would the title be different whether or not you keep it?

Usually it is only totaled if an insurance company pays it off

Nevermind, talked to some people today and they can't give it a salvage title if it's older then 10 years old, they consider it "reconstructed"...

But update: I'm keeping the car and fixing it up again... insurance company tried to screw me since I bought it from an auction, wanted to give me almost nothing to total it, so I'm taking the money for repairs and re-fixing the entire front end... I'll post pics when it's done!
