What does a clean title, which means the vehicle is not salvaged, mean, and what are the fees associated with buying it now?

A clean title can sometimes come with a salvage history, which you can verify through a CARFAX or AutoCheck report. Additionally, even with a clean title, the vehicle’s history may prompt a salvage designation upon registration, depending on your state’s DMV regulations under NMVTIS law. While it often remains clean, we at RideSafely must inform customers of potential changes. As for fees, RideSafely charges a service fee of $299 for items over $1,000, alongside a $150 documentation fee. Auction fees vary, so we recommend using the fee calculator on our website to determine specific costs based on the auction and item price.

Are the vehicles on this website that only have a dent/scratch going for $1,000 or $2,000 dollars really in good condition to purchase? Clean title included?

All vehicles are different with different damage. Most of these vehicles come from insurance companies which would have to be damaged enough to make them salvage vehicles. Please review each item carefully and feel free to call us at (215) 289-0300 with any question or if you just need a second pair of eyes or an opinion. Learn more about Reasons for Salvaging.

All clean titles, you should be able to register them with no problems. Please do keep in mind, any vehicle sold through a salvage auction may become salvage due to NMVTIS law (in which case you would have to go through a local reconstruction process to obtain a rebuilt/reconstructed title). This happens extremely rarely, but can happen. Read more
