What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
Due to the huge hail storm that hit Phoenix recently, my vehicle was considered a total loss. All the damage is cosmetic only, no damage to the frame or windows etc. My dealer is telling me I don't need to get a salvage title because the damage is cosmetic only. The insurance company says I have to get a salvage title because Arizona doesn't differentiate between cosmetic or mechanical damage on that it is a total loss. I can't find anything on-line at the dmv or at the dept of insurance for az. Can anyone tell me if they know which one is right?
