A lot of times, states will issue a salvage vehicle title to damaged and/or stolen vehicles that are deemed a total loss. They can only be deemed a total loss if the cost of repair or replacement is above 70% of its current market value and the insurer has settled the claim. The rules regarding the criteria for issuing such titles are different in different states.

In some minority states, a salvage vehicle title is issued if stolen or vandalized vehicles are not recovered by the police in 21 days.

In Michigan, a salvage title is issued when the damage is 75% to 90%. A vehicle that has above 91% damage gets issued a scrap title and the vehicle cannot be repaired or reconditioned. Oregon issues a salvage title when the total loss is 70% or abandoned or stolen and its value is less than $500 dollars.

The loss of value calculated by the insurer is different from the general concept. Buyers of salvaged vehicles need to do their homework and ensure they understand all the details about the title of the vehicle. They also need to make sure that it is later changed to his name. In most states, the sales receipt copy along with the VIN is required to get the title in the owner’s name.
