Yes, we buy salvage and rebuilt title vehicles. Be prepared for a meaningfully lower offer than the same car with a clean title — a branded title permanently reduces what any buyer will pay, and that is true no matter who you sell to. What we will give you is an honest number and no wasted trips.
Salvage vs. rebuilt
A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. A rebuilt title means a salvage vehicle has since been repaired and passed the state's inspection to return to the road. Both are branded titles, and the brand stays with the vehicle for life.
Why the offer is lower — honestly
The brand does not go away when the car is fixed. Future buyers pay less for it, financing is harder to obtain on it, and some insurers limit coverage. Every downstream buyer prices that in, which means we have to as well.
We would rather tell you this plainly up front than have you drive to a buy center expecting a clean-title number. If someone quotes you a clean-title price sight-unseen on a branded-title car, be skeptical.
What to bring
The branded title and a valid photo ID. If the vehicle was rebuilt, bring the inspection paperwork and any repair documentation you have — a well-documented, properly repaired vehicle appraises better than an undocumented one.
Disclose the brand when you request an offer. It costs you nothing and it means the number you get online is closer to the number you get in person.

Do you buy salvage title cars?
Yes. We buy both salvage and rebuilt title vehicles at all five Washington buy centers.
How much less is a salvage title car worth?
It varies with the vehicle and the severity of the original damage, but the reduction is significant and permanent. We will give you the specific number after an inspection.
Should I hide the salvage title to get a better offer?
No. It will be found during inspection and the offer will be corrected. Disclosing it up front saves you a trip and gets you an accurate number faster.
