if he bought it from verastar it has a salvage title. once the car gets inspected it will have a rebuilt title, no different than a clean title(from a legal standpoint) except it says rebuilt on it making it difficult to sell. as for getting it inspected i believe the person who actually bought the car off the insurance lot has to get the car inspected or a reputable "rebuilder" might be able to get it done, but i know for sure the average person off the street cant do it anymore.
