If you purchased the car from a dealer you might have legal recourse. If you purchased the car from a private party, probably none since it is sold as-is, unless something was put in writing.
Lesson: Make sure the car you're buying is currently titled to the state you live in and ALWAYS do a Cafax and run the VIN number thru the DMV prior to a car purchase. There are clever ways to hide salvage titles and you might have been a victim of one of them.

What happens if you buy a car unaware of salvage title?
what happens if you buy a car unaware of salvage title? well, if it was from a dealer you have recourse. if it's from a private seller, too bad...UNLESS they sold you the car with a clean title when they knew it was salvage. did you look at the title before you bought the car? if it was clearly branded as salvage or totaled you're out of luck but if it was a clean title when it actually wasn't you can try and get a refund from the seller or sue. If you sue you will have prove the seller knew the title was salvage at the time of sale. good luck!!
salvage title?
is a salvage title?
Can a dealer ask you to return a new car if your trade-in is later found to have had a salvage rebuilt title?
Well, if you knowingly traded in a salvage/rebuilt car with a wrong/clean title he has the right to sue you for the extra money he gave you for your trade in since a salvage car is worth roughly 40% less than a comparable clean titled car. Did you sign over a salvage title when you traded the car in? If so, he has no legal recourse since the salvage title is clearly marked and it's his problem.

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.

If a salvage yard owns a car is the title considered salvage?
Depends on the existing title, if the salvage company owns the vehicle and it does not have a salvage title then they would be just another owner like anyone else and this vehicle would have a clean title assuming that there are no lean holders. On the other hand if the vehicle in question has already received a salvage/non repairable or similar title then salvage/non repairable or similar title would follow the vehicle not a clean title.
