Salvage value is an estimate of the value of property at the end of its usefulness. It's the price that you'd get for it when you can't use it productively. How you use the property and for how long affect salvage value. If you let go of property while it's still in good operating condition, then the salvage value might be high. If you let go of property when it's not usable, its salvage value is its junk value.

Salvage vehicle value is highly subjective but if the car was properly reconstructed and is roadworthy it is worth roughly 60% of a comparable clean titled car. Go to nada.com to get an idea of the car's value. If it's salvage but not roadworthy, maybe 25% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
So what is depreciation?
DEPRECIATION is the cost we consider expired already relative to the use of the thing (asset) or passage of time or obsolescence. This is computed in several ways e.g straight line , double declining, sum of years digit etc. but the most common is straight line. To understand it better we compute it this way using straight line: (Cost of an Asset - Salvage value) / life of an asset in years = annual depreciation. Salvage value is the estimated value at the end of assets life or simply the value this asset can still be disposed. It is something that causes property, whether it be a home or a car to lessen in value over time.

What is the difference between the valur of a car when it is new and the lesser value after ownership is called?
The difference between the value of a car when it is new and its reduced value after ownership is commonly referred to as "depreciation." Depreciation represents the decline in the car's market value over time due to factors such as wear and tear, age, and usage. This reduction in value occurs gradually, impacting the resale or trade-in value of the vehicle.

You bought a used car and when you tried to trade it in they said it has a salvage title six months after you bought the car?
That means that at some point the car was wrecked so severely that the cost to repair it exceeded 75% of the value of the car. The car was therefore totaled and sold to a salvage yard. The salvage yard sold the car to someone who repaired it and sold it with the required salvage title. You should have noticed the salvage title when you bought the car.
