Excepción para vehículos vendidos para reciclaje o desmantelamiento

Explicación Simple

Si una compañía de seguros tiene un carro que no se puede arreglar y lo obtuvo después de un accidente, puede pedir un certificado especial sin tener que conseguir el título primero. Esto les permite vender el carro para piezas o chatarra.

Es como cuando tienes una bicicleta rota y decides venderla para que alguien la use para piezas. No necesitas un permiso especial para venderla porque ya no sirve.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un carro viejo que chocó y la compañía de seguros le paga por el daño. En lugar de pedirle un título, la aseguradora puede declarar que el carro no se puede reparar y venderlo a un desmantelador para que lo convierta en piezas.
