A salvage-titled vehicle must go through the rebuilt inspection process before a rebuilt title can be issued on vehicles that require titles. Vehicles must go through the rebuilt process if: Branded “Salvage” in Georgia. Out-of-state branded “Salvage,” “Flood,” “Water,” “Fire,” or “Total Loss.”
If a vehicle is declared salvage, it is allowed to be bought and sold but cannot yet be legally driven. However, there is a way to repair a salvage vehicle and have a “rebuilt” or “restored” title issued.
No, you can't get insurance for salvage cars. Once a car is declared a total loss, it's destined for the scrapyard — unless it's sufficiently repaired and rebuilt.
If you have possession of the title and wish to make application, the back side of the original title must be completely filled out, recording: Buyer name. Seller name. Both signatures. Date of sale. Current odometer reading.
What is a Rebuilt Title? Once a Salvage vehicle has passed inspection and and been titled, the new title will print with the branding "rebuilt". If you have a Georgia title branded "rebuilt", there is no need for inspection. Because it is a Georgia title, it has already gone through that process.
To the title or statement of origin assignment (on the back): Lightly line through the incorrect information leaving it where it can still be read. Enter the correct information legibly above the “lined through” information. Complete Form T-11 Affidavit of Correction explaining the reason for the correction.
A bill of sale is required in Georgia for all vehicle and vessel transfers. The document needs to include detailed information about the seller, the buyer, the item being transferred, and the transaction itself.
A salvage vehicle is any motor vehicle: Damaged to the extent that its restoration to an operable condition would require the replacement of two or more component parts.
