I need to get my car inspection done before the month is out and I am trying to budget the cost in. Unfortunately I have no idea how much this costs, and google isn’t much help. Can anyone tell me how much a car inspection costs? I live in Austin, TX. My car is a 2007 Yaris, so I know it will pass especially since I have been keep up with the maintenance.

My car was hidden by another car and 0% of my fault. My car only had outlook need to fix but that still took few thousands to fix it, all paid by other party. That already over 40% of my car total value.
At this situation, will my car become salvage title? Then it is absolute not fair as my car value will drop a lot.
Thanks!

I live on my own and don’t have insurance through my parents so I need to know how long I have to register my car and get it insured. I live in Colorado. I have a permit and just need to find time to take my drive test for my license. And is there anything else I need to get done before my car is legally driveable? Thanks in advance for answers.

I was involved i car accident with the other driver taking the blame. My car is damaged and the other drivers insurance company will be contacting me regarding my car. What should I ask them? I am planning to ask about a hire car, who will repair my car or declare it a write off, can I claim for travel expenses whilst without my car and also is it okay to continu driving my damaged car before it is assessed by them. Is there anything else I should ask?

We got into an accident out of town and the car was totaled. The insurance policy only covers damage done to other cars. The car is still in the shop. Do we sell the parts to the shop? Take it to the junkyard? Any help would be appreciated.

Got in accident. Someone hit two side doors of mine and a fender and then ran. The police was able to track the person down and now I got their insurance. Their insurance company has agreed to pay for the damages and it came down to about $2100. I was curious if there is a way to have insurance company pay for the loss of car value? They agreed to pay only for the repairs saying that the car does not loose its value if it is repaired properly. I mean if I try to sell this car right now (it is a 2004 Chrysler Sebring), I would not get a full resale price because the car was in the accident. I know private buyers would care about this kind of thing for sure. How about dealers? Do they ask if the car was in an accident and how to make insurance company to pay for this kind of thing?

I recently had my car stolen. It’s a very hard thing to deal with especially since it’s a very expensive car. It was a Mercedes Benz S550 and I had spent a little over $95 thousand on it. I live in Los Angeles and the LAPD have told me that there are so many car thefts that it’s almost impossible to find stolen cars. Insurance covers the cars cost but what’s important to me is that inside the car I had some family pictures and some of mother and fathers personal belongings that I’d like returned… Is there any chance the thief is stupid enough to try and sell the car?

I have a 1993 Nissan NX which was in a decent condition and never gave me any problems. Recently it got rear-ended. The other party’s insurance took the responsibility and asked me to get an estimate. The estimate says the repair costs are about $5000 and the mechanic thinks the insurance company will buy the car from me. What price would they pay me for the car?

I am a student and wasn’t planning on buying a new car. What price should I be happy with. I paid about $2800 8 months ago for the car. Would they be willing to negotiate. If yes, how do I negotiate?

I got my Drivers License a month back. Today I rented a car (and fortunately with a full insurance cover) and ran into another car and got a ticket that says “Inability to control car” or something like that. I’m planning to buy a car pretty soon. Could any of you give me an idea as to how much my insurance will be effected as a result of this mishap?

Some companies will salvage a car if the damage is only 51% or more of the car’s actual value, and some other companies will salvage if damage is 80% or more of the car’s value. What I want to know is when does 21st Century salvage cars? What percent of the car’s value do they refuse to make repairs? I’m asking in case I crash my car ever, I don’t want to have to salvage my car, nor would I want to sell it to them. It carries a kind of sentimental value to it. Anywho, thanks in advance!
