Brand Definitions

  • No Total Loss - A Total Loss vehicle is an automobile that has been stolen, dismantled or damaged by impact, collision, fire or flood, such that the estimated cost of repairing it exceeds the difference between the fair market value of the vehicle prior to the damages.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have been declared to be a total loss by a jurisdiction or an insurance company that covers the loss or takes possession of the vehicle and/or title. Vehicles that are declared a total loss can have issues that affect the vehicle's safety and/or value.

  • No Prior Owner Retained - An Owner Retained Title is issued when an insurance company deems a vehicle to be a total loss and the owner chooses to retain possession of the vehicle.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to be previously branded as owner retained as salvage.

  • No Salvage - A vehicle is considered salvaged when it has been damaged in excess of approximately 70% of its pre-accident market value. The exact percentage depends on the insurance provider, as well as any applicable laws and regulations.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have been wrecked, destroyed or damaged to the extent that the total cost of parts and labor to legally rebuild the vehicle exceeds the jurisdiction's defined percentage of the retail value of the vehicle. Salvage brands can also be the result of abandonment, an insurance total loss, or of an insurance company settlement with the vehicle's owner without regard to the extent of the damage. Salvage vehicles often have issues that affect the vehicle's safety and/or value.

  • No Owner Retained Salvage - Owner Retained Salvage is when the vehicle has been declared a total loss and the titled owner retains ownership of the vehicle.


    The vehicle has not been reported to have been declared a total loss by an insurance company with the owner maintaining ownership. Vehicles that are declared a total loss can have issues that affect the vehicle's safety and/or value.

  • No Crushed - A vehicle is "crushed" when a junk automobile is stripped of all useful parts and then is compressed prior to transport for recycling.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have had its frame or chassis crushed or otherwise destroyed, such that it is impossible to use it to construct a vehicle.

  • No Vehicle Non-Conformity - Vehicle Non-Conformity refers to non-safety defect that is reported by the vehicle manufacturer.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have a non-safety defect reported to the jurisdiction by the vehicle manufacturer.

  • No Recovered Theft - A vehicle is considered "recovered theft" when an insurance company acquires the automobile in the settlement of a theft claim.


    The vehicle has not been reported to have been previously titled as salvage due to theft. Recovered theft vehicles have been repaired and inspected (or complied with other jurisdiction procedures) and may be legally driven.

  • No Disclosed Damage - Disclosed vehicle damage refers to when the owner notifies that the vehicle has sustained damage and is required to fill out a statement. The amount of damage to the automobile is determined by adding the retail value of all labor, parts, and material used during repairs.

  • No Flood Damage - A Bond is posted on the vehicle when the owner has no proof of ownership during the titling process. The bond will normally remain in effect for 3 years or until it is no longer registered by the State.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have experienced significant flood or water damage. Vehicles with flood or saltwater damage can have hidden problems that can affect the safety and value.

  • No Cash for Clunkers - "Cash for Clunkers" is a program that allows car owners to trade in their old, less fuel-efficient vehicles in exchange for more fuel-efficient vehicles. In the US, this program is formally known as the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS).


    Good news! The vehicle is not pending, nor has it been included in the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS). Vehicles included in the CARS program are incapable of operating on public streets, roads, or highways. The vehicles have no value except as a source of parts or scrap, shall be crushed or shredded within a specified time period (including the engine block), and shall not be exported prior to crushing or shredding.

2015 Nissan Leaf gets B mode standard, new MorningSky Blue color

Thu, Jul 10 2014

The Nissan Leaf is getting a few updates for the 2015 model year, some functional, some purely aesthetic. The appearance options will be made available later than the rest, and include a new exterior color called MorningSky Blue, as well as standard 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels for the SV trim level. In terms of driving, the 2015 Leaf gets a dedicated B-mode for every trim level, including the base S car (it was formerly only available in the SV and SL levels). This provides more aggressive regenerative braking when the driver is not on the accelerator - perfect for making the most of those downhill grades. Now every Nissan Leaf includes Normal, Eco-Mode and B-Mode, regardless of trim level. SV and SL trim levels also get a couple new convenience features. For those who find it impossible to disconnect while driving, the Hands-Free Text Messaging Assistant allows them to communicate without taking their eyes off the road, taking their hands off the wheel or risking a distracted driving ticket (perhaps you might want to rethink using it, though). Additionally, SV and SL customers will Voice Destination Entry to make spontaneous rerouting to the theme park a little easier. Of course, a lot of other Nissan cars got some cool upgrades this year. The Quest, NV200 Compact Cargo and V6-powered Altima, for instance, eke out another mile per gallon highway and combined. See what's new in the Leaf and the rest of the Nissan lineup in the press release below. The 2015 Nissan Lineup: Charting the Changes Nissan's U.S. sales have significantly outperformed the industry in 2014, up 12.7 percent CYTD through June. Sales have been led by the recently redesigned Altima, Rogue and Sentra – along with other models such as LEAF (+29.4%), JUKE (+44.9%), Frontier (+22.6%) and NV200 (+439.3%), which have shown strong results month after month. This gives the Nissan lineup great momentum heading into the 2015 model year. Headlining the changes for 2015 is the upcoming launch of the all-new Nissan Murano (due in late 2014). As the halo vehicle for Nissan's expanding range of bold crossovers and SUVs, the dramatic 2015 Murano features a new V-motion front end, LED boomerang lights and a unique "floating" roof. Murano's breakthrough exterior design carries into the interior, which offers an engaging social lounge feel through features such as advanced NASA-inspired Zero Gravity front and outboard rear seating and oversized Power Panoramic Moonroof.

Mercedes, Renault-Nissan to work together on truck project

Wed, Apr 8 2015

Just a few weeks ago, Mercedes-Benz barged into the automotive world with news of a pickup as a mysterious but enticing future model from the German brand. Rumors of a possible collaboration with Nissan followed, but Renault-Nissan Alliance CEO Carlos Ghosn refused to give any clear details. That speculation is now over, because the automakers made their truck partnership official. This new information reveals that the Mercedes truck won't be a full in-house creation from Daimler. For example, the pickup will share some of its underpinnings with the latest Nissan NP300 Navara. The German company's engineers, however, will work to change the design to their liking. Also, as in the rendering, Mercedes will use a double-cab body for the model. "Thanks to our well-established partnership with the Renault-Nissan Alliance, we are able to drastically reduce the time and cost to enter this key segment." Daimler Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche said in the company's release. Nissan will play a further major role in the project by helping Renault develop a pickup based on the Navara as well. By 2020, all three trucks will be built together in Cordoba, Argentina, for Latin American markets and in Barcelona, Spain, for other parts of the world. Mercedes will target both regular customers and commercial buyers with its truck. While still not officially slated for North America, there's a chance that the Mercedes truck might be sold here. The US arm of the company reportedly has until the end of the year to decide to offer it with some added luxury-oriented upgrades compared to the rest of the world. Daimler & Renault-Nissan Alliance expand cooperation to 1-ton pickup trucks April 07, 2015 Daimler & Renault-Nissan Alliance expand cooperation to 1-ton pickup trucks Nissan and Daimler to jointly develop midsize pickup truck Mercedes-Benz pickup to share some of the architecture with the all-new Nissan NP300 Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be engineered and designed by Daimler to meet specific needs of its customers Mercedes-Benz pickup will target Europe, Australia, South Africa and Latin America Pickup trucks to be built in Barcelona, Spain, and Cordoba, Argentina Latest milestone in the five-year strategic cooperation between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan Alliance STUTTGART/PARIS/YOKOHAMA –The Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG will expand their five-year strategic cooperation into the pickup truck segment.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
