How do I get a Salvage Branded vehicle titled in Virginia or Maryland?
Maryland and Virginia are making it increasingly difficult to title and register Salvage branded cars and trucks. Both states are now requiring an inspection and appraisal by a licensed appraiser to determine the value of the vehicle at the time of the accident, the estimated cost of repairs, whether the replacement parts were new or used, and whether the repair work was satisfactory. This applies even to stolen/recovered cars with no accident history. If the value of repairs exceeds 90% of the then value of the vehicle, no title or registration will be issued. For this reason, Auto Analyst recommends extreme caution when buying a Salvage branded car or truck. If you have purchased such a vehicle, Auto Analyst is qualified to perform the required appraisal and can provide you with the necessary forms and documentation to help you through the process.
