salvage title
Totaled car's certificate
A salvage title is a vehicle title issued when an insurance company declares a car a total loss—typically after an accident, flood, or theft recovery.
The designation warns buyers that the vehicle sustained significant damage.
Cars with salvage titles can be repaired and driven, but they're worth less than clean-title equivalents and may be harder to insure: I got a good deal because it has a salvage title.
