What is a salvage title?

A salvage title is a form of vehicle title branding. It denotes that an insurance company has declared the vehicle a total loss due to collision, theft, or natural disaster damage and paid a claim. Owners may repair vehicles with salvage titles and, after passing a safety inspection, can register them to drive legally again.

Which titles remain clean: ‘May Become Salvage’ or ‘Clean Title (P) May Become Salvage’?

Unfortunately, we can’t predict which titles will remain clean. The decision is made by your local DMV at the time of registration, based on their regulations and criteria. Although it’s not a frequent occurrence, it’s important to be aware of the possibility.

Which vehicles are guaranteed not to be salvage when registering them?

Due to NMVTIS regulations, we cannot guarantee that a vehicle with a clean title, such as “Title FL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE (CLEAN) (P) PENDING FOR 30 DAYS,” won’t be reclassified as salvage upon ownership transfer. The DMV often makes decisions based on any reported salvage history. We recommend conducting a Carfax or AutoCheck report prior to purchase; however, this doesn’t completely guarantee against reclassification by your DMV. While rare, such instances have occurred with some of our customers.

Additionally, you might consider exploring our selection of used vehicles for sale and auction. These listings will clearly state “CLEAN TITLE” for vehicles not classified as salvage, providing greater assurance for your purchase decision.
