I briefly looked into this last year, and it appeared to be more trouble than it was worth. Car was in NJ, I'm in NY. From what I remember (and I didn't spend a lot of time on this- see below), NYS requires photo documentation of the vehicle from before any repairs were made, and I believe the car needs to be visually/mechanically inspected by the state at a specific location, in Albany, IIRC. I also read that some insurance companies won't even insure salvage cars, which is the point I stopped considering it. I didn't even bother calling mine because I don't think they would (USAA).
For less than $15K there's a couple nice 9-5's on the VT craigss, at least one of them was definitely a manual.
