How you find out what damage caused a vehicle to be given a salvaged title?

Answer

Normally if the estimated damaged is to the point that the repair would be 80% of the cost of replacing the vehicle, it is totaled, and sold for salvage. When a vehicle is rebuilt and put back on the road, a record of repairs may or may not be given to the state. Check with your DMV or County Court Clerk and see if they can provide this information. Better yet, leave any vehicle such as this alone. It is always a gamble with a rebuilt vehicle, especially one that was totaled. I would never buy such a vehicle.
