Legal considerations for salvage vehicles in Nevada

A salvage title indicates the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurance company due to damage, theft recovery, or other reasons.

The seller must disclose the salvage status in the bill of sale.

Required disclosures

The seller must disclose that the vehicle carries a salvage title brand, describe the nature of the damage that led to the salvage designation, and note whether the vehicle has been repaired or is being sold in damaged condition.
