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.


    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have sustained damage to the extent that the damage is required to be disclosed per local law.

  • No Vandalism - A vandalized vehicle is one that has been intentionally defaced or destroyed.

    Good news! The vehicle has not been reported to have been damaged by a collision.

  • No Bond Posted - 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.


    The vehicle has not been reported to have had a bonded title issued by an insurance company because ownership of the vehicle cannot be proven, thus allowing the vehicle to be sold and titled.

  • 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. For additional information concerning the CARS program visit CARS.gov.

  • No Gray Market - A vehicle that is sold or imported by unauthorized dealers is considered purchased in the "Gray Market".


    The vehicle has not been reported to have been manufactured for a non-US market and brought into the US for road use. Gray Market vehicles must be inspected to ensure that they meet US safety standards. The vehicle may or may not be in compliance with the applicable federal standards.

Nissan's Cummins tie-up bears first fruit with Frontier Diesel Runner concept

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

The 2014 Chicago Auto Show is proving to be a surprisingly big show for alternative fuels. The Chevrolet Silverado HD pickups are getting a compressed natural gas option and the refreshed BMW X3 is receiving a diesel engine, as is the German automaker's 7 Series. You can add one more oil burner to the mix, at least in concept form: Nissan has released its Frontier Diesel Runner Powered by Cummins with a 2.8-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF.
While Nissan calls the Cummins-powered Frontier a concept, it's really just a Frontier DesertRunner 4x2 with a diesel engine replacing the standard 4.0-liter V6, and it's meant to gauge consumer interest for a diesel option in the next-generation Frontier. Nissan has clearly noticed that Chevrolet will be offering a diesel in its new Colorado and wants to see how buyers will react to a mid-size alt-fuel pickup from a Japanese brand.
Exterior modifications to the concept are minor. To show off the engine, there is a transparent hood insert and the pickup has been painted in a two-tone finish of high-gloss red and matte silver edged in carbon fiber trim. The interior gets the same combo of red, silver and carbon fiber to match the outside.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

Renault appoints Dacia Logan creator to head its Nano-rival program in India

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

After watching the Tata Nano post sales numbers smaller than its engine displacement, Renault gave up on its much publicized intention to build a truly inexpensive car to rival it. Then, a month ago, reports emerged that Renault was resuming work on a couple of low-priced cars for emerging markets, but this time it would work with its in-house partner, Nissan. That plan envisions an offering for €3,000 ($3,888 US) and another for €5,000 ($6,400 US), both of which would be more spendy than the Nano but might avoid the charge of being cheap - and nasty - and instead be considered affordable.
A report in Reuters talks to the man in charge, Gerard Detourbet, who has been in Chennai, India since at least August working on the program. Detourbet led the Dacia Logan project and is considered "Renault's low-cost car specialist" and "the father of entry-car programs." This one is reportedly codenamed A-Entry and will create a "'sub-entry' architecture" that will provide roominess beyond the vehicle's price and class, and use an engine with a displacement of 800 cubic centimeters.
It isn't aimed at the Nano, though - it means to take on the products that make up 45-50 percent of India's car market, like the Maruti Suzuki Alto and Hyundai Eon. According to Reuters, out of the 2.6-million-strong Indian car market the Maruti Suzuki line-up alone nabs one million registrations annually. The Alto 800 begins at 244,000 rupees ($4,440 US), the Eon at 300,000 rupees ($5,559 US), the Chevrolet Spark at about 316,000 ($5,750 US); if Renault can nail its price targets it will just about bracket those three and be right in the game.
