60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
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.
Yes, and in most states if you rebuild/restore the car to roadworthiness you can get a totaled/reconstructed title. Don't pay too much, they are worth much less than a comparable clean car and the value is often subjective.
It worth appx 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car so if it is worth $5000 with a clean title it's worth roughly $3000 with a salvage title.
That title itself is worth nothing. It is the car the title is for that has value.
A reconstructed titled car is a car that was severely Damaged/Totaled and then a repair person or shop builds the car back up well enough to pass inspection. One should be very carefull if buying a vehicle like this because seller might not take it back or give refund. Vehicle might look fine at first but fit and driving ability may be weak or altered and when you get ready to sell the car yourself, it may be difficult or you may have to take a huge loss. NEW ANSWER A reconstructed title is a salvage car that has been repaired to be roadworthy. They are not always severely damaged, it just depends on the value of the car at the time of damage. It doesn't take much to total an older car, it takes a lot to total a new one. Personally, I would only buy a reconstructed vehicle that was at least 8 yrs old and I'd get it inspected by a pro prior to purchase. Sometimes a small fender bender will total an otherwise decent car. Keep this in mind though: a reconstructed car is worth about 60% of the value of a comparable clean titled car.
If you purchase a car with a rebuilt title or a salvage title you need to understand you are purchasing something that should have been scrape metal. They are worth but a fraction of what the same car with a clean title is worth. Save yourself the problems and walk away.
it depends on how much the vehicle costs
A lemon title vehicle is typically worth significantly less than a standard vehicle, often ranging from 20% to 50% less, depending on the extent of the issues that led to its lemon status. This diminished value reflects the vehicle's history of unresolved defects and the potential for future problems. Buyers tend to be wary of lemon title cars, which drives down their resale value. Ultimately, the exact decrease in value can vary based on the make, model, and condition of the vehicle.
Depends on the price of the vehicle
That is what a salvage yard receives when a vehicle is purchased at auction and intended for being parted out, totaled insurance wrecks, or tow yard impounds. In some cases the vehicle is in good enough shape that with some repair it can be road worthy again so it is sold with a salvage title. When the vehicle is inspected and once again registered a normal title will be issued. === === == The above answer is correct until the last sentence. When a car is in an accident, flooded or sometimes even stolen/recovered (things vary from state to state) and the repairs exceed 75% of the car's value it is totaled and issued a salvage title. Once a car is issued a salvage title it can not legally be made "clean" again, only salvage/reconstructed or totaled/reconstructed depending on how a state words it. Unscrupulous sellers can always find an illegal/unethical away around this but since a reconstructed car(i.e. a salvage car that has been rebuilt to roadworthy standards) is worth 40% less than a comparable clean titled car, buyers need to beware and do their homework with Carfax, VIN and title number checks before they purchase any used car. Otherwise, they will pay too much for what they get. Salvage cars can sometimes be fine purchases, just pay the right price!
