Salvage in California
Salvage vs. revived salvage, and why it matters.
In California, a car that an insurer declares a total loss is issued a salvage certificate. It cannot be registered and driven on the road in that state. If the car is repaired and passes the required DMV and CHP inspections, it can be registered again with a "revived salvage" brand on the title, often called rebuilt.
Both are harder to sell privately. Many buyers cannot get financing on them, some insurers limit coverage, and dealers often refuse them as trade-ins. That is why salvage title cars usually sit on Marketplace for weeks.
We price salvage and revived salvage cars every week. The offer reflects the title brand, the condition and the repair quality. A well-repaired revived salvage car that runs and drives is worth far more than one still in salvage status, so tell us which one you have.
Tips
Getting the best offer on a salvage car.
Keep the repair paperwork
Receipts and inspection paperwork for a rebuilt car help show the work was done properly.
Be clear about what works
Running, driving, warning lights and airbag lights all affect the offer. Honest answers mean no surprises.
Do not part it out first
Removing parts to sell separately usually lowers the offer more than it earns.
What we buy
We buy more than clean, paid-off cars.
Whatever shape your car is in, the form takes about two minutes. These pages explain how each situation works.
Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Not seeing yours? Start the form anyway. A real person reviews every offer and will answer anything when they reach out.
Do you buy rebuilt title cars?
Yes. Revived salvage (rebuilt) cars that run and drive often get strong offers.
Can I drive a salvage title car to you?
A car with a salvage certificate cannot be legally driven on the road in California. We come to you and tow it if needed.
How much less is a salvage car worth?
It depends heavily on the car and the damage. The form gives you a real number for yours.
Is a salvage title the same as a junk title?
No. A junk certificate is for vehicles meant to be dismantled. Tell us which document you have.
