If you mean totaled cars that have yet to be repaired, go to an auction or tow yard. If you mean a salvage car that has been reconstructed to roadworthiness, try Craigslist. There's lotsa salvage vehicles being sold there under the guise of being a clean titled car! But sometimes there's honest seller who are selling totaled/reconstructed cars for what they're worth, which is roughly 60% of the price of a comparable clean titled car.

A salvage vehicle is one that has received a certain percentage of the vehicle's worth in damage (determined by the state the vehicle is registered in).

If the vehicle is salvaged and repaired to be sold, it is the responsibility of the seller to disclose the salvage title.

What to do or should know when your auto insurance salvages a vehicle?

In the U.S., Auto Insurance companies do not salvage a vehicle. If the vehicle claim is paid out as a total loss it is sold or auctioned off to a salvage or a junk yard. The junk yard may crush the vehicle for scrap metal value or salvage parts from the vehicle or even to re-title the car on a salvage title but this is totally up to the salvage yard or whomever the yard then re-sells the vehicle too.


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.
