What Is a Salvaged Vehicle?
In California, a salvaged vehicle is one that’s been declared a total loss due to damage, theft, or destruction — and has been issued a salvage title by the DMV or an insurance company. Before it can be legally driven, sold, or re-registered, it must undergo inspections and meet specific state requirements to be reclassified with a rebuilt title.
