Titles & paperwork

Title types explained

Clean, salvage, rebuilt — what each means for your bid.

The title status is shown on every lot before you bid.

  • Clean — no major insurance write-off on record.
  • Salvage — declared a total loss by an insurer; not road-legal until rebuilt and inspected.
  • Rebuilt — a salvage vehicle repaired and re-inspected for road use.
  • Unknown — status not confirmed; treat with caution.

Title status affects value, insurability, and financing — factor it into your maximum bid.
