whats a salvage title?
I see a lot of motorcycles for sale out here with a lost title.
In Ohio a salvage title is a item that the Insurance Co holds title to or a salvage company bought at auction from the Insurance auction sales. Buy it from the Insurance Co, repair with parts receipts and get a inspection fro the Ohio Highway patrol. Then apply for a rebuilt title.
Or buy a rebuilt titled one and get another title that will also be marked rebuilt.
Over the years we have done about 20 cars and trucks. Never been a serious problem as long as you have your receipts in line. We only rebuilt low mileage and light hit damage. Fords mainly as there are more parts available.
To a knowledgeable buyer only about 10-20% price reduction. As there are a lot of accident repaired cars-trucks on the road just didn't get salvaged out.
In fact in 2006 I bought a as new 2005 Ford Taraus wagon for $6000 and spent $1000 in repairs and was on the road in 7 days. Only had 567 miles on it. Drove for 11 yrs and 100,000 miles and no repairs.
Stolen recovery vehicles also fall under this in Ohio. That's what mine is and Ohio has it branded over paperwork, no damage or repairs done. Other states are not like this.
There are a lot of Jeeps for sale with no titles. I think they are sold. New owner doesn't plan on driving on the road so doesn't title it in order to avoid sales tax. Next thing you know he lost the title or sells it for parts. Might go thru a couple owners still titled in someone else's name who hasn't a clue his old Jeep is 2 to 3 owners down the road. Lol
Glad you enjoyed that story. Probably best to not tempt me with any Jeeps. I don't need to spend anymore money nor do I have the time to mess with one. Heck, I already have one I'm struggling to get titled. LmaoI almost was going to mention this one to you earlier but after your story it went too the wayside lol....
I've contemplated buying a camper without a title, slap a trailer plate on it, have a buddy follow me to the permit location and call it a day!
I have bad luck, I don't push stuff lol
