Nope, but I can explain a write off.Who do you think is the best car insurance provider in the UK?
Insurance will write off a vehicle when it costs more to fix it than the vehicle is worth. As to how to make it legal, it depends on the laws of your state, which you didn't give in the question. Some will change the title to "junk" title, or "salvage" title and the vehicle can only be used for parts. Some states will allow a salvage vehicle to be rebuilt, but it must then pass inspection before it can be registered again.
I want to buy a car registration, how do I find the current owner?
Check what title you will be getting, and what the rules are for your state or area.
Here's the definitions; Cat C is repairable but will need an inspection. You might find yourself stuck with it when you come to sell it.
o Category A:
I had a car accident with no insurence, what should I do?
Scrap only - this vehicle should have been crushed. It should never reappear on the road and there are no economically salvageable parts. It is of value only for scrap metal - e.g. a totally burnt-out vehicle.

o Category B:
Why are U.K. number plates white in front,yellow at rear?
The bodyshell should have been crushed. The vehicle should never reappear on the road, but it can be broken for spare parts plus any residual scrap metal.

Vehicle extensively damaged and insurer has decided not to repair. May be repaired and put back on the road. Has to pass an inspection costing £36 (2007 price) to be re-registered as damaged repaired.

Auto insurance company that wants me to pay upfront?
Think of Cat D like this:
School bus,with young children inside,hit and run, suing options.?
A car is worth £6,000, but sustains some minor cosmetic damage.
If I am insured on one car, could I drive another car without breaking the law?
The damage will cost £2,500 for an (inflated price) insurance repair that includes the cost of a courtesy car for the owner while the repair takes place.
Why is it that the fine for not having car insurance is far less than BUYING car insurance?
But the insurer can sell the car off as it is for £4,000.
How can I prove the car is mine?
So the insurer 'writes it off' as a Cat D, saving itself £500, even though the car may be perfectly drivable and suffers only cosmetic damage.
