If a salvage yard owns a car is the title considered salvage?

In: Vehicle Titles, Car Buying, Car Selling [Edit categories]

Answer:

Depends on the existing title, if the salvage company owns the vehicle and it does not have a salvage title then they would be just another owner like anyone else and this vehicle would have a clean title assuming that there are no lean holders. On the other hand if the vehicle in question has already received a salvage/non repairable or similar title then salvage/non repairable or similar title would follow the vehicle not a clean title.
