re: Thinking of buying a salvaged title vehicle

One key issue that all the "pros" on here have missed.... you can't get a tag for a salvage brand title in MS, LA, and AL I know for a fact on them. I have never heard of a personal insurance that will insure a salvage title.

Second, salvage vehicles are great buys if you get someone that can do the paperwork for the DMV inspection to have it rebranded as Rebuilt.

And to the people on here that are saying the "the frame is bent so it was salvaged", wow, y'all are misinformed. A "Total Loss" is the term for a vehicle that has sustained damage that the repair costs are not feasible to the total value, in MS and LA it is 75% of value limit by the State reqs. I.E., 2006 Chrysler Sebring hit in the side, needs two doors and the quarter repaired. Body shop estimate is 3 grand and said car is worth 3500..... Total Loss.
