Iowa Vehicle Title Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rebuilt salvaged title on an Iowa vehicle title?
First of all, it is important to understand what is meant by a salvaged title. This is not something you really want to see on an Iowa vehicle title search. It means that the vehicle has been involved in a serious accident at some point. A car is said to have a salvaged title when it is a total loss and it is not safe for you to drive. Therefore, any used car with a salvaged title would not be a good investment if you wanted to drive straight away. A rebuilt salvaged title is slightly different. This is when a vehicle that was classed as a total loss has received the necessary repairs to make it roadworthy. In other words, it is safe to drive after being repaired.Comments
