Salvage title — What You Need to Know

The vehicle has been declared a total loss by an insurance company and carries a salvage title brand. Salvage vehicles cannot be legally driven until they pass a rebuilt/salvage inspection in most states.

Seller guidance

You must disclose the salvage title status in writing. The bill of sale should state "salvage title" prominently. Some states require a separate salvage disclosure form. Do not represent a salvage vehicle as a rebuilt title unless it has passed the required state inspection and been formally re-branded.

Buyer guidance

A salvage title vehicle cannot be registered for road use in any state until it passes a state-mandated rebuilt inspection. Lenders rarely finance salvage title vehicles, and insuring them for full value is difficult. Even after a salvage vehicle is re-branded as "rebuilt," it will always carry diminished resale value.

Legal note (Ohio-specific)

Ohio requires a salvage vehicle inspection by the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) before issuing a rebuilt title. Submit BMV 1026 (Application for Inspection of a Rebuilt Salvage Motor Vehicle). The OSHP inspection verifies VIN integrity and documents all replaced components. The rebuilt title carries a "rebuilt salvage" brand.
