Salvaged Title:

Salvage Title A salvage title is often issued by states when a vehicle is damaged and the cost to repair is significant, many times it exceeds the market value of the vehicle. This may be associated with an insurance company declaring a vehicle a total loss. Sometimes these severely damaged vehicles are rebuilt, and issued a rebuilt or reconstructed title. In many states this requires an inspection.
A problem often occurs when a salvaged and rebuilt vehicle is sold in another state. Sometimes these title brands do not transfer in the new state and the title becomes "clean". Unscrupulous sellers can increase the sale price of rebuilt cars by "cleaning" the titles by registering them in states where the title brands do not transfer.
To protect yourself from "hidden" title brands, get an AutoCheck vehicle history report. AutoCheck receives registration and other important information over the life of the vehicle. AutoCheck history of salvage brands is not changed when a vehicle is registered in a new state.
Use what the pros use. When car dealers buy a car or take a trade in, they often run an AutoCheck vehicle history report on the vehicle. Getting an AutoCheck vehicle history report is a small investment to help avoid very costly mistakes.
