The vehicle was previously a salvage title but has been repaired and passed a state inspection, allowing it to be re-branded as "rebuilt" and registered for road use.
Disclose the rebuilt title status clearly in the bill of sale. Provide the buyer with copies of the state inspection certificate that authorized the re-branding from salvage to rebuilt. If you performed the repairs yourself, document the parts used and work done. A rebuilt title affects resale value and insurability permanently.
A rebuilt title vehicle may look and run fine, but it will always carry the rebuilt brand. Before purchasing, inspect the vehicle thoroughly or have an independent mechanic perform a post-repair inspection. Request copies of repair receipts and the state inspection certificate. Verify the vehicle is insurable at acceptable rates before paying.
Rebuilt title inspection requirements vary by state. Most require a physical inspection by a licensed inspector or law enforcement to verify the VIN, confirm repairs, and ensure roadworthiness. Inspectors typically check that no stolen parts were used. The rebuilt brand is permanent on the title history — it cannot be upgraded to a clean title. Federal law prohibits misrepresenting a rebuilt vehicle as having a clean title (49 U.S.C. § 32705).
