Rebuilt Title rules.

Submitted by Low_Web1947 t3_10gojhq in Washington

I'm looking to purchase a vehicle out on auction here with only fender and headlight damage, it's a bill of sale so assuming it's a salvage title.

I read on the WA DOL that a vehicle must meet the threshold that is older than 5 years, this is a 2008 vehicle and market value with 7.1k and not the required amount $7.9k, would it still be possible to get a rebuilt title?

If this is the wrong subreddit for this kind of question mods please delete.

Also interested in the answer. When my motorcycle was totaled out from the insurance I bought it back with a rebuilt title. There wasn't any inspection or anything.

It sounds like might need to file for a lost tile. Dou you know if the vehicle is totaled requiring a rebuilt title?

I'm not sure if it's a salvage title in the first place as it's just a bill of sale and does not say clear or salvage, I'm assuming I would have to file for a replacement title.

I had a vehicle totaled by insurance and IAAI said the same thing about it Bill of sale, I just don't want to buy a vehicle and not have it get a rebuilt title because of the market threshold.

I can tell you in WA state, I've heard conflicting things about salvage and rebuilt titles. So I'd check with WSP and see what they say, because they do the inspections
