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 (Washington-specific)

Washington requires a Washington State Patrol (WSP) inspection before a salvage vehicle can be retitled, per RCW 46.12.560. The process begins at a DOL licensing office: the licensing agent issues the WSP Inspection Request Form, which is required before you can schedule a WSP appointment. All documents presented at inspection must be original — faxes and copies are not accepted, and internet receipts for used parts are not accepted. After the WSP inspection is passed, the owner applies for a new title at a vehicle licensing office. Vehicles that are 5 years old or newer, or 6 to 20 years old and a passenger vehicle, light-duty truck, or SUV with a pre-loss retail value of $11,780 or more before being destroyed, receive a permanent 'WA REBUILT' brand on the title. The registered or legal owner must surrender the salvage title to DOL within 15 days of the vehicle's destruction.
