A salvaged title means that the car was deemed a total loss by an insurance company. There are several reasons this could have happened. It is best to talk to the owner and find out exactly what happened and why they didn't get it fixed. Once you know what happened to the car you can start to see what you need to rebuild the truck. Also looks at this website for more information: http://www.ehow.com/how_6245022_buy-truck-salvaged-title.html

The biggest problem with salvage cars, is to buy it most salvage cars resellers are scamers, the most difficult thing is to buy a car you can use site like http://www.autoauctionhelp.com/ and buy a car directly from dealers or insurance auto auctions, then you simply find a cheap body shop and you can save up to 50 % of the retail price. Good Luck

If someone sells you a salvaged title without disclosing it, they may be committing fraud.

It's essential to check the vehicle's title history before purchasing to avoid such situations, as a salvaged title can significantly affect the vehicle's value and insurability.

Salvaged title finance in california. Is it law in California that a car having a salvaged title can not be financed through a banking or credit union Stuck in a rut?

There is no law against financing Salvaged Titles. It is just that most banks and credit unioins chose not to finance these vehicles. The problem is that there can be liability if the vehicle is for whatever reason unsafe, and you sometimes do not know why a vehicle was salvaged. It could be because of frame damage or other serious damage, or it could be for water damage (i.e., Katrina), or it could be that it was just stripped by a theif, and has been rebuilt and is perfectly good, but since it was totaled by the insurance company, it is "salvaged". Some lenders will lend against a salvaged title. But they will take off 40% of the value of the vehicle due to salvaged title. So if the vehicle is worth $10,000 as a regular title, a salvaged vehicle will be worth about $6,000. I believe SafeCo might be a source for insurance. Car Cash Loans in Los Angeles (www.CarCashAuto.com) will lend against salvaged titles, according to their representatives.

If a vehicle is wrecked then totaled and it has a lost title will this affect the insurance claim?

Totaled vehicles which have been rebuilt generally have a "salvaged vehicle" title, or whatever it's called in your state. Vehicles with a salvaged vehicle title are by definition, not as valuable as the same vehicle with a clean title. If the vehicle is subsequently in another collision, the insurance company will not pay as much since the loss was not as great. Insurance companies only need to pay you for the actual value of the vehicle.
