Do any states that allow bent frame repair without a salvage title? It's been a while, but back when I was buying cars at wholesale auctions, it was a big deal when one slipped through with a bent frame without a salvage title. They reversed auctions all the time, including one truck we purchased.
- throwawayboise 5y agoIf it's repaired and not totaled, it won't have a salvage title. I have even "bought back" cars that my insurance wanted to write off (insurance paid me market value less their estimated salvage value) and there was no change in title. I think the only time a title gets "branded" is if there is a change in ownership. So if the car is totaled/written off, and sold on to a salvage yard or salvage auction, and then repaired and sold again, it will have a "rebuilt" title.
