Q:

Rebuilt vs Salvage vs Clean Title Explained

Hey everyone, starting this thread since it’s one of the most common questions we get. Quick breakdown for anyone new here:

  • Clean Title: car has never been declared a total loss by an insurer. No major accident/flood/theft history on record. This is what most buyers want.
  • Salvage Title: insurer decided repair costs exceeded the car’s value (usually 70-90% depending on state), so it’s “totaled.” Not legal to drive until repaired and re-inspected.
  • Rebuilt Title; a salvage car that’s been repaired, passed a state inspection, and is now legal to drive again.

Curious to hear from people who’ve actually dealt with these does the price difference make it worth the hassle?
