In Massachusetts there are two kinds of salvage titles, repairable and
parts-only. A repairable car can be re-registered after being repaired
and passing a salvage inspection. A parts-only car cannot be registered
again in MA. The salvage title might make the car harder to insure, or
at least more expensive.
