So I got rear ended this week by a truck. My car has damage to the left rear quarter panel, bumper cover and tail light. Due to the age of the vehicle I am expecting the insurance company to total it. It is still drivable and with a replacement tail light lens it should be roadworthy although ugly. I should be getting a company car but need something to get me by in the meantime (HP is saying 6 to 8 months). I am considering buying back the salvage from the insurance company and getting a branded TX title. Checking on line it says that proof a repairs needs to shown. If I put a tail light on and pass inspection will this satisfy the state? Has anyone on here done this? The car still drives straight, there doesn't seem to be any frame or alignment damage. Just trying to not have to invest a bunch of money in a new rig just to get a company car issued a few month later.
