A rebuilt title generally means the vehicle was previously issued a salvage title after an insurance-related event, then repaired and completed the inspection process required by the titling state to be legally driven and registered again.
Safety comes down to how well a vehicle was repaired and inspected, not the label on its title. A rebuilt title actually tells you a vehicle already passed the inspection required by the titling state before it could be sold again as roadworthy, which is more than you know about most vehicles with a plain clean title.
We encourage every customer, on every vehicle we sell, branded or clean title, to review the vehicle history report, inspect it in person, take a full test drive, and consider an independent mechanical inspection before buying.
Absolutely. We've spent nearly a decade building relationships with local and nationwide lenders who understand rebuilt and damage-history vehicles, so financing one isn't a special case for us, it's most of what we do. Because we run this volume through those lenders every day, we've earned pricing and terms that a one-off buyer walking into their own bank usually can't get on their own, and we pass that along on rebuilt title and damage-history vehicles just like we do on clean titles.
Yes, many insurance companies offer coverage for branded-title and damage-history vehicles. The specifics, like liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, can vary by insurer, vehicle, title type, and state, so it's worth a quick call before you buy. Give your insurance agent the VIN and let them know the title status, and they can confirm exactly what coverage you'll have and what it'll cost. If you run into an insurer that pushes back, let us know, we can point you toward companies that regularly insure vehicles like these.
Absolutely. We sell to buyers all over the country, not just locally, and we can ship vehicles nationwide to make that easy. If you finance with us, our team walks you through approvals, down payments, and any protection plans before you ever make the trip, so most of the process is already handled by the time you arrive or your vehicle ships to you.
When you finance through ReCar, we can also help coordinate the title, tax, and registration paperwork for your state, which makes the whole out-of-state process a lot smoother. Since those rules still vary by state, we'll work with you and your local DMV to make sure everything lines up before the deal is final.
