A salvage title can lower a vehicles value by 50% of KBB. Part of the mystery of buying a used car is uncovering the auto's "story". A car that is accident free, theft free, and has a low number of owners is worth more than the opposite. Vandals, thieves, and the 10th owner tend to care less about the vehicle than the person who proudly picked it up new from the dealer. Make no mistake, a salvage title is issued by an insurance company because of money. It either costs less to replace it rather than repair, or it can't be fixed economically enough to justify it. Other situations include theft. If a car is recovered after the insurance policy has paid the owner the title can be branded as salvage. The insurance company then retains ownership of the vehicle and it is often auctioned. So then why does a salvage title lower value so much? Because you, the uninformed consumer can't tell why it was branded salvage. You can be told anything, but the title only says salvage. Its up to you to decide its value. As with anything buy with caution and know that it will also change your resale value. Also, check with your insurance agent because the second total loss could be yours.

Respective of the Vehicles title condition, You are entitled to fair market Value. Basically this means you are entitled to the amount it would cost you to purchase the same or similar type and condition vehicle. when you say has a clean title but had a prior salvage title, i am assuming you mean that the vehicle was repaired and inspected by your state and deemed no longer a salvage title? if that is the case then there would be no additionaldeduction for the 'branded' or salvage title which can lower a vehicles actual cash value anywhere from 25-50% whether repaired or not.........more details and perhaps i could be of more assistance......
