Best Answer

It means that the car has been wrecked and rebuilt. The following eleven states also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR. So, in these states a "Salvaged" Title could mean it was wrecked and totalled or it could also mean that it was just stolen. Also, to clarify, no damage at all has to ocur while being stolen for it to receive the "Salvaged" title. Be leery though. Sellers could use the "stolen" excuse for a title to have Salvaged on it, but in reality it was really totalled.

Are cars with a salvaged title unsafe?

The salvage title is used to title a vehicle that has been paid out by an insurance company. This may be because professional repairs exceed 75% of the value of the car or may be because the car was stolen and not returned within the time required by law such that the insurance company must pay out the total value. Depending on the age of the car a salvaged car may have had no damage, very minor cosmetic damage, or major damage. A vehicle that is considered not repairable is instead titled as "junked".
