In most states, a salvage title is issued on a car following extensive damage -- damages that exceed 75% of the pre-damage value. The salvage title is issued when the insurance company applies for it, if they took possession of the car, or possibly when another source (e.g. police/accident report) reports the damages to the Dept Motor Vehicles. Not sure about Georgia, but in Massachusetts, for example, the title can be re-issued following repairs, changing the car's title from a 'salvage' title to a 'rebuilt' title. Never buy a car that has been wrecked/damaged to this extent, and then repaired, without having it checked by a mechanic you have TOTAL confidence in. Airbags might not be repaired. Many other things may be shoddily repaired. Even with decent repairs, car may always have problems. May leak at doors, may have perpetual misalignment (and wear out parts more rapidly), may have electrical problems.

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