What does
‘salvage’ in the title of a vehicle mean, and how does
it affect the value of the vehicle?
A "total
loss salvaged vehicle" is a vehicle that has been wrecked,
destroyed, or damaged to an extent that the registered owner, leasing
company, financial institution, or insurance company which insured
the vehicle, considers it uneconomical to repair the vehicle, and
because of this, the vehicle is not repaired for the vehicle owner
at the time of the event resulting in damage. Normally, this type
of vehicle cannot be sold or transferred without first obtaining
a Salvage Title. Due to the many different ways a vehicle can be
issued a salvaged title we cannot determine an amount or percentage
to deduct from a value. A vehicle can be stolen and recovered with
no damage at all, but it would be given a salvaged title nonetheless.
Because of this, questions should be directed to the registered
owner, leasing company, or financing institution. If you have questions
it’s a good idea to check the history
of a vehicle. A Vehicle
History Report can confirm a clean history or reveal potentially
hidden problems.
