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.
Illinois-Specific Note

All replacement parts must be documented with invoices, and VINs of donor vehicles must be provided. Illinois charges a $50 inspection fee. The rebuilt title carries a "rebuilt" brand.
