information on SALVAGE AND REBUILT TITLEs 

(this car has a salvage/rebuilt title)

Buying a car with a rebuilt title is one of the best kept secrets most new car dealers don't want you to know about.  That's because it allows people just like you to save thousands of dollars off the purchase of a car that while may not be brand new, is certainly the next best thing.

Compare the mileage, condition, and price of this vehicle to those sold by other car dealers and you will quickly see for yourself the difference in value this car offers over others.

So what exactly does a salvage title or rebuilt title mean?  A car with a salvage title means that the insurance company decided not to fix the car and instead chose to pay the owner the full amount of their insurance claim.  By declaring a vehicle as a "Total Loss” the insurance company removes themselves from the risk of incurring any liability claims sometime in the future. 

Does that means the car is totaled and no longer drivable?  The answer is, not always.  Although an insurance company may consider a car totaled, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is physically totaled and completely unusable anymore.  

For example, sometimes a car has minor damage, but the parts are very expensive so the cost of repairing the car is greater than the cost to pay off the claim.  In finance terms, it is a simple cost-benefit analysis.  The insurance companies asks themselves, "Does it cost more to classify the car as totaled and pay the claim in full, or does it cost more to have the car repaired and restored to a brand new condition?"  

In many cases, it is faster, easier, and cheaper for the insurance company to simply write a check to the car owner and declare the car a total loss than it is to go through the lengthy and costly process of having the car completely restored to a like-new condition.  This is especially true for those owners who just purchased a car from a new car dealer and who is charging them full retail price for the privilege of doing so.  

The car owner is paying for a brand new car and if the work is not done to his or her satisfaction, chances are the car owner will not be happy.  The auto body shop will then have to redo the work until the customer is completely satisfied which costs the insurance company even more time and money.  

It is for precisely situations like this that insurance companies prefer to mitigate their losses by cutting them short.  The insurance company and the car owner often mutually agree to classify the vehicle as totaled for a specified amount so that both parties can limit the time and expense of dealing with a car that must be restored to a near perfect condition.

Sometimes the owner does not want to get the vehicle repaired because it is faster and easier to go back to the dealer and pick out a brand new car.  Depending on the insurance company and the make and model of the car, the insurance company may simply choose to pay the owner in full.  

Remember, just like any other company, insurance companies are in business to make a profit.  Using a cost-benefit analysis approach objectively guides them through the decision making process that it is in the best interests of their company.

If a car gets stolen the Insurance company has thirty days to recover the vehicle.  If the car is not recovered in thirty days, the company pays off the owner and once the car is recovered, it is brought to the auction as a Total Loss vehicle even if it did not have any damage to it whatsoever.

We have purchased 'Total Loss" cars from Insurance companies with door dings, extremely minor fender bender, and theft recovered vehicles with absolutely no damage.  In fact, most of the vehicles purchased have very minor damage and NONE of the vehicles purchased have had the air bags deployed.  In addition, we do not purchase cars having any kind of flood damage.  Finally, we do not buy or sell cars that have had major damage, but instead focus on those only having minor to no damage at all.

Rebuilt Titles -  Once all of the necessary repairs have been completed, the car is then inspected by an authorized state inspection center to ensure that the repairs have been properly made and that the vehicle is road worthy.  Only after a very thorough inspection has been conducted can a rebuilt title be issued. 

This means that a new owner will not have to have an inspection done to get the car back on the road. It saves a lot of trouble for buyers as they don’t have to get the car inspected or fill out any extra paper work as is the case with a Salvage title.  

This car has already had all of the repairs completed and has been fully inspected by a Texas state authorized inspection center.  This car will come with the necessary paperwork so that when the title is transferred into your name, the newly issued title will be issued as a 'rebuilt title' and not a 'salvage title.'  The process is very easy and the new 'rebuilt title' is typically sent to the purchaser within 2 to 3 weeks. 

In summary, just because the insurance company has designated a vehicle as a Total Loss for financial reasons does not necessarily mean that the car was in a serious accident or that it had extensive damage.   Remember that it is in the best interests of the insurance companies to minimize their losses and oftentimes the best way to do that is by declaring the car to be a total loss.

Remember, too, that it is in the best interests of new car dealers to keep this insider secret to themselves.  After all, their job is to maximize shareholder profits and the way they do that is by selling new cars.  The more people like you who discover this little known secret of saving thousands of dollars by buying a car with a rebuilt title, the less money they make for themselves.  Given a choice of lining new car dealer's pockets with lucrative profits, or lining your own pockets with thousands of dollars in savings, which would you choose?
