Salvage Title

A vehicle title indicating the car was declared a total loss by an insurer.

Salvage-title cars sell for 20-40% below clean-title equivalents but are nearly impossible to insure for collision/comprehensive and harder to finance. Always get a salvage car independently inspected before buying.
