Hmmm... you bought a car without getting a title? NOT a good idea. The title will state whether the car is clean or salvage or totaled/reconstructed. If you didn't get the title when you purchased the car you better make sure the car wasn't stolen. Call the state DMV with the VIN number for starters. They'll be able to give you some info on the car and the title.

Can you get a title loan on a salvage title?
Most banks or independent title loan companies will NOT give you an AUTO loan or consider the car as collateral on a Salvage title car. Some dealerships have been know to sell salvage title vehicles and submit the title for a loan, unbeknownst the bank or the vehicle's owner. This is not illegal in some states. Always ask to see the title when purchasing a used car from an unknown dealership.
What does rebuilt salvage title do to value of car?
A rebuilt salvage title is issued when a vehicle has been declared a total loss. When that happens, the original title is "retired", and the salvage may be sold--often by an insurance company that paid the owner and acquired the salvage. As a way of recovering some of what it paid, the salvage will be sold by the insurer. The buyer of it may then repair the vehicle to make it road-worthy. The repaired vehicle is then issued a rebuilt salvage title in order to be "legalized" and used as a vehicle. The fact that it has a rebuilt salvage title will generally reduce the value of the car, because any buyer will know that the vehicle has at one time been totaled.
Does a Private party have to disclose salvage title?
No, but it's very unethical! Plus, the buyer will find out when he goes to register it and may come over to your house and kick your ass. Is it worth it? Would you want someone to do that to you? Now, if you were a buyer who unwittingly bought the car with a salvage title, sorry! Best to run the title number by the DMV before you buy so you know the title brand before you buy.

How can you tell if you bought a vehicle with a salvage title?
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.

What to do or should know when your auto insurance salvages a vehicle?
In the U.S., Auto Insurance companies do not salvage a vehicle. If the vehicle claim is paid out as a total loss it is sold or auctioned off to a salvage or a junk yard. The junk yard may crush the vehicle for scrap metal value or salvage parts from the vehicle or even to re-title the car on a salvage title but this is totally up to the salvage yard or whomever the yard then re-sells the vehicle too.
You bought a car from a dealer he did not disclose that the car has a salvage title is there any recorse?
Not all states require a salvage title. Any recourse would have to be determined by the laws of the state in which you currently reside. If your state does require a salvage title, then the dealer is responsible for making sure you have that information. A lot of dealers buy vehicles from auction houses around the country and they may have gotten a vehicle that they didn't know that information or the state where it was purchased didn't require a salvage title. So you will need to look at your state laws and also the total history of the vehicle to see what laws apply.
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.
Is it legal to sell a salvage car without telling it to the buyer?
Depending on the state the answer is no. If you are in CA, AZ, CO, NY I know you must disclose that the vehicle has a salvage title. As a private seller you are selling the car as-is but if your car was recently totaled/salvaged but you sold the car with the old clean title, that would be unethical. If I purchased the car from you and later could prove you knew of the salvage title I would certainly sue you and would probably win! What about a if someone sell me a "junk title" car without telling me, and I can show that they knew about it ?
