218     (3)(a)1.  As used in this section, a motor vehicle or
219mobile home is a "total loss":
220     a.  When an insurance company pays the vehicle owner to
221replace the wrecked or damaged vehicle with one of like kind and
222quality or when an insurance company pays the owner upon the
223theft of the motor vehicle or mobile home; or
224     b.  When an uninsured motor vehicle or mobile home is
225wrecked or damaged and the cost, at the time of loss, of
226repairing or rebuilding the vehicle is 80 percent or more of the
227cost to the owner of replacing the wrecked or damaged motor
228vehicle or mobile home with one of like kind and quality.
229     2.  A motor vehicle or mobile home shall not be considered
230a "total loss" if the insurance company and owner of a motor
231vehicle or mobile home agree to repair, rather than to replace,
232the motor vehicle or mobile home. However, if the actual cost to
233repair the motor vehicle or mobile home to the insurance company
234exceeds 100 percent of the cost of replacing the wrecked or
235damaged motor vehicle or mobile home with one of like kind and
236quality, the owner shall forward to the department, within 72
237hours after the agreement, a request to brand the certificate of
238title with the words "Total Loss Vehicle." Such a brand shall
239become a part of the vehicle's title history.
240     (b)  The owner, including persons who are self-insured, of
241any motor vehicle or mobile home which is considered to be
242salvage shall, within 72 hours after the motor vehicle or mobile
243home becomes salvage, forward the title to the motor vehicle or
244mobile home to the department for processing. However, an
245insurance company which pays money as compensation for total
246loss of a motor vehicle or mobile home shall obtain the
247certificate of title for the motor vehicle or mobile home and,
248within 72 hours after receiving such certificate of title, shall
249forward such title to the department for processing. The owner
250or insurance company, as the case may be, may not dispose of a
251vehicle or mobile home that is a total loss before it has
252obtained a salvage certificate of title or certificate of
253destruction from the department. When applying for a salvage
254certificate of title or certificate of destruction, the owner or
255insurance company must provide the department with an estimate
256of the costs of repairing the physical and mechanical damage
257suffered by the vehicle for which a salvage certificate of title
258or certificate of destruction is sought. If the estimated costs
259of repairing the physical and mechanical damage to the vehicle
260are equal to 80 percent or more of the current retail cost of
261the vehicle, as established in any official used car or used
262mobile home guide, the department shall declare the vehicle
263unrebuildable and print a certificate of destruction, which
264authorizes the dismantling or destruction of the motor vehicle
265or mobile home described therein. However, if the damaged motor
266vehicle is equipped with custom-lowered floors for wheelchair
267access or a wheelchair lift, the insurance company may, upon
268determining that the vehicle is repairable to a condition that
269is safe for operation on public roads, submit the certificate of
270title to the department for reissuance as a salvage rebuildable
271title and the addition of a title brand of "insurance-declared
272total loss." The This certificate of destruction shall be
273reassignable a maximum of two times before dismantling or
274destruction of the vehicle shall be required, and shall
275accompany the motor vehicle or mobile home for which it is
276issued, when such motor vehicle or mobile home is sold for such
277purposes, in lieu of a certificate of title, and, thereafter,
278the department shall refuse issuance of any certificate of title
279for that vehicle. Nothing in this subsection shall be applicable
280when a vehicle is worth less than $1,500 retail in undamaged
281condition in any official used motor vehicle guide or used
282mobile home guide or when a stolen motor vehicle or mobile home
283is recovered in substantially intact condition and is readily
284resalable without extensive repairs to or replacement of the
285frame or engine. Any person who willfully and deliberately
286violates this paragraph or falsifies any document to avoid the
287requirements of this paragraph commits a misdemeanor of the
288first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s.
289775.083.
290     (4)  It is unlawful for any person to have in his or her
291possession any motor vehicle or mobile home when the
292manufacturer's or state-assigned identification number plate or
293serial plate has been removed therefrom.
294     (a)  Nothing in this subsection shall be applicable when a
295vehicle defined in this section as a derelict or salvage was
296purchased or acquired from a foreign state requiring such
297vehicle's identification number plate to be surrendered to such
298state, provided the person shall have an affidavit from the
299seller describing the vehicle by manufacturer's serial number
300and the state to which such vehicle's identification number
301plate was surrendered.
302     (b)  Nothing in this subsection shall be applicable if a
303certificate of destruction has been obtained for the vehicle.
304     (5)(a)  It is unlawful for any person to knowingly possess,

308vehicle, mobile home, or derelict that has been sold as salvage
309contrary to the provisions of this section, and it is unlawful
310for any person to authorize, direct, aid in, or consent to the
311possession, sale, or exchange or to offer to sell, exchange, or
312give away such certificate of title or manufacturer's or state-
313assigned identification number plate or serial plate.
314     (b)  It is unlawful for any person to knowingly possess,

318removed from the motor vehicle or mobile home for which it was

321or to offer to sell, exchange, or give away such manufacturer's

323     (c)  This chapter does not apply to anyone who removes,
324possesses, or replaces a manufacturer's or state-assigned
325identification number plate, in the course of performing repairs
326on a vehicle, that require such removal or replacement. If the
327repair requires replacement of a vehicle part that contains the
328manufacturer's or state-assigned identification number plate,
329the manufacturer's or state-assigned identification number plate
330that is assigned to the vehicle being repaired will be installed
331on the replacement part. The manufacturer's or state-assigned
332identification number plate that was removed from this
333replacement part will be installed on the part that was removed
334from the vehicle being repaired.
