the title will be orange or red instead of green.
== Do a Carfax and get an idea of how many states the car has been registered in. It's very easy to move cars from state to state in order to "titlewash" a salvage vehicle so it eventually comes back to life as a clean titled car.
This is just another reason the feds should create a national online registry that would require all insurance companies to log the make and VIN number of any car they total and pay out on.
Once a vehicle has an Ohio Salvage title assigned, the history remains with that VIN until the vehicle is scrapped. The Registrar in your county will issue a Repaired Salvage , or "branded" Title that you can get your license plates with. You cannot obtain a Clear title for this car.
A salvage vehicle is one that has received a certain percentage of the vehicle's worth in damage (determined by the state the vehicle is registered in). To salvage a vehicle in most states, one must be licensed to repair the vehicles and the vehicle, once repaired, usually has to be inspected. If the vehicle is salvaged and repaired to be sold, it is the responsibility of the seller to disclose the salvage title.
A salvage car or truck, once restored to roadworthy condition is worth roughly 60% of the value of a comparable vehicle with a clean title.
Once a vehicle is considered salvaged, you cant get it clear for any reason, even after its repaired.
You cannot legally. Once a salvage always a salvage. At best you can get a "rebuilt" title.
Answer: Salvage titles come from the insurance companies. Once an insurance company "totals" a vehicle, it becomes "salvaged". Take the ID number to your insurance company and have them run it to see if it is "insurable", best & quickest way and its free.
You cant make a salvage title clean in any state. Once it has salvage on it, it can not be reversed.
You cannot. Once branded salvage or totaled, the title remains as such. There are illegal ways to convert a branded title (called title washing) but no legal way. Sorry! It depends on what you are really asking with your question. It is true that once the brand is on the vehicle that it was salvaged it will remain on the vehicle forever. But if you mean converting from a salvage title to a salvage rebuilt title which looks like a "clean title" but still has the brand on it that is different. If you live in Texas you will need a rebuilt affidavit completed by the owner and the person who made the repairs, you will need the title completed by the new owner and the salvage dealer or insurance company that sold them the vehicle, you will also need the form 130u which is on the txdot website completed by the dealer or insurance company and the new owner, and the new owners insurance.

Do you mean salvaged title? http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/cit_title/v_title_special.html Also from the state of New Jersey website regarding junk vs. salvage titles: Q. What is the difference between a junk title and a salvage title? A. A junk title is issued to a "public agency" (police department, municipality, etc.) for junk vehicles found abandoned on roadways. Once a junk title is issued, the vehicle can never be re-titled for use on the road. A salvage title is issued when a vehicle has been declared a total loss (through collision, flood, fire, theft, etc.) by an insurance carrier or owner. The salvage title is necessary in order to dispose of or sell the vehicle to a junkyard or dealer. If a vehicle with a salvage title is repaired and passes inspection, it can be re-titled for use on the road.
Once a salvage always a salvage or totaled/reconstructed; you cannot legally get a clear title the brand will remain. A reconstructed and roadworthy salvage car is worth 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car. If it's still salvage maybe 25% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
If the vehicle has a lien, the title shouldn't be lost, the lienholder should have it. Once the vehicle is paid in full, they will mail you the title.
SALVAGE VEHICLE When you dismantle, destroy or change the character of your car so that it no longer is a complete car, you must surrender your Certificate of Title to the Clerk of Courts for cancellation. When you sell your car to a salvage dealer, you must surrender your Certificate of Title to that dealer with the assignment completely executed. To convert a Salvage Title to a Regular Title, a HP 106 inspection must be made by the State Highway Patrol. A fee of $50.00 is charged. The HP-105 application for the inspection may be obtained at the State Highway Patrol. In the State of California a Salvage Title is just that, it exists for a specific reason. A vehicle is assigned a Salvage Title because the car was written off as a loss by the insurance company. There are various reasons which would cause this to happen. A Salvage Title does not always mean that the car was involved in an accident. It may have been a theft recovered vehicle, it may have water damage, it may have been in a fire, these are just some examples of why a vehicle may receive a salvage title. The State of California does not distinguish between different salvage types as some states do. Once the car receives a "branded" title there is no legal way to wash the title in the State of California. The reason for this is to protect the consumer. If there were a way to remove the salvage designation from a vehicle then the purpose of issuing that title in the first place would have been defeated.
