How can you tell if you bought a vehicle with a salvage title?
Pkropp
I would go back to whomever I got the vehicle from and question them to see if you can determine whether or not they knew this. If they will admit that they know about the salvage situation then you will know who to blame and perhaps to whom to take civil action against. If the previous owner didn't have knowledge they may not have any liability. The fact that you now know about the title puts you in a situation where you cannot sell it to someone else without telling the buyer what you know. Speak with an attorney in your area if it decreases the value enough to make a big enough difference.

You can ask anything you want to for it. Whether you can get it is another matter. California law requires you to tell them it is a salvaged title vehicle. If you do not tell them you have committed fraud and are subject to fines and jail time.Note: a legal salvage title will indicate that the vehicle is salvaged!
I bought a car with a clean title then when I went to get it registered they said they sent him a letter to tell him to send in the title to get it changed to salvage and he never did so what do I do?
If you want the car then you retitle it with a salvage title. If you don't want the car then you go back to the seller and explain that he defrauded you by not presenting you the proper 'salvage' title. If it's worth the time and hassle to you then you may need to contact an attorney and sue.

You recently sold a car to a dealership and did not know it was a salvage car The title stated it was salvage but you did not verbally tell the dealership Now the dealership wants his money back?
Depending on the state law, you were required to disclose that it was a salvage, it's ethics, however, if you took the car and the title to that dealer and he looked at the title and did not say anything, you've done nothing wrong, but there is the question of why didn't you tell them. But if that dealer looked at the title and didn't notice it, that's different, of course if they put their lawyer on it, then you'll need one as well, remember that part.
Does a car dealership have legal right to hold your title once you have completely paid that specific car off?
Whose NAME is the title in? Yours, or the dealership's? When you bought the vehicle, the auto dealership would supposedly transfer the title to you, but would also place a "lien" on the vehicle. IF THE TITLE IS IN YOUR NAME, simply tell the dealership to hand it over, and call the authorities if they refuse. IF THE TITLE IS NOT IN YOUR NAME, then you just may have a problem requiring the services of an attorney, assuming of course that you have fully paid for the vehicle.
How much does a salvage title affect the value?
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.

Can you still sue the dealership for selling a salvage title car if you signed the paper?
If they sold you a salvage title car and did not inform you that it was a salvage car you may very well be able to get out of the deal. This may be considered fraud. I suggest you go to the selling dealer and ask for a refund and cancellation of the deal. If they refuse tell them you will take them to court. That may change their mind. If it does not seek legal advice from a lawyer as how to proceed.
