For Personal Use Only
Basic Warranty
Most manufacturers offer a basic warranty for new vehicles. These
warranties vary by manufacturer and typically last for a certain amount
of time and/or a set number of miles.
Not Actual Mileage Title
When the seller certifies, under the Federal Odometer Act, that the
odometer reading does not reflect the vehicle's actual mileage. This
may occur because the odometer was tampered with, broken, or replaced.
Junk Title
A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost
of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value. This
damage threshold may vary by state. The majority of states use this
title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be
titled again. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage.
Loss Due To Fire Title
The vehicle sustained major damage due to fire. In most states, fire
damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for
safe operation exceeds its fair market value.
Structural / Frame Damage
In most cases, a vehicle is inspected for structural or frame damage,
depending on the body design, after an accident or other incident. All
levels of accidents from minor to severe can cause structural / frame
damage and in most cases it can be repaired.
Airbag Deployment
Occurs when the driver, passenger or side airbag has been used or
deployed during a crash or other incident. If an airbag has been
deployed, it must be replaced by a qualified technician. Have this car
inspected by a mechanic prior to purchase.
Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the
cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value.
This damage threshold may vary by state. Some states treat Junk titles
the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a
vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.
The following eleven States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen
vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MD, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.
Total Loss
An insurance or fleet company declares a vehicle a total loss when a
claim exceeds ~ 75% of its pre-damage value or if the vehicle is stolen
and not recovered. This damage threshold varies by company. These
companies typically take possession and obtain the title. Not all total
loss vehicles result in a DMV-reported branded title, like a Salvage or
Junk title. See the glossary for more information.
Accident / Damage Indicator
Various events could indicate an accident or damage in a vehicle's
history, such as: salvage auction, fire damage, police-reported
accident, crash test vehicle, damage disclosure, collision repair
facility and automotive recycler records. See the glossary for more
information.
Hail Damage Title
The vehicle sustained major damage due to hail. In most states, hail
damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for
safe operation exceeds its fair market value.
Flood Damage Title
States issue flood titles when a vehicle has been in a flood or has received extensive water damage.
