Default Do salvage title cars still hold factory warranty?

I'm looking for another daily driver and looking at a 06 civic with 14k miles but it has a salvage title due to theft (from what the seller tells me). My question is will dealerships still honor factory warranty on cars with salvage titles? Thanks!

In Seattle Wa, if your car has been stolen, the insurance company will declare salvage title. . . not sure what the laws are here because im relatively new to the area.. but I wouldn't imagine the insurance companies not declaring anything after a theft I mean they dont' just hand you the car and tell you to be on your merry way other wise we all do this

Look this up on Carfax. CA does not issue salvage titles to stolen cars. There are 11 states that do, however (I don't remember them). It must have been salvaged from a major wreck.
