Can you drive a salvage title car in Colorado?

I just moved to Colorado and need a car. My buddy offered to loan me his uncle’s old one, but it’s got a salvage title on it. Can you drive a salvage title car in Colorado?

No, you cannot drive a salvage title car in
Colorado
. Although that’s a generous offer from your friend, vehicles with salvage titles on them cannot be
registered in Colorado
, and unregistered vehicles cannot be legally driven.
If your friend really wants you to take his uncle’s old car off his hands, you could consider
applying for a rebuilt title
. With the right forms, restorations, and paperwork, you could get that car ready to drive again.
