What does “Minnesota Peddle Non-Public Clean Title” mean, and is it recognized as a clean title in other states?

The “Minnesota Peddle Non-Public Clean Title” designates a vehicle with a pending Minnesota clean title that, due to specific state regulations, is not available for public auction but can be sold to licensed dealers.

What This Means for RideSafely Buyers

• This restriction only applies to direct auction buyers.
• As a RideSafely customer, you do not need a dealer license to bid and purchase these vehicles.
• Since RideSafely is a licensed dealer, the vehicle retains a clean title upon sale.

Title Recognition & NMVTIS Compliance

While the vehicle is sold as a clean title, it’s important to note:

• Under NMVTIS (National Motor Vehicle Title Information System) regulations, vehicles purchased through insurance auctions may be reclassified as salvage by certain state DMVs during registration.
• Title classifications vary by state, and some DMVs may apply a salvage brand based on NMVTIS history records, regardless of the title status at the time of purchase.
• Although such cases are rare, it is important to be aware of this possibility and plan accordingly.
• If this happens, you may need to complete a local reconstruction process to obtain a rebuilt or reconstructed title.

Check with Your Local DMV

Before purchasing, always verify with your local DMV for the most up-to-date title classification and registration requirements for auction-bought vehicles.
