(April 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> In North America, a salvage title is a form of vehicle title branding, which notes that the vehicle has been damaged and / or deemed a total loss by an insurance company that paid a claim on it . The criteria for determining when a salvage title is issued differ considerably by each state, province or territory . In a minority of states and Canadian provinces, regulations require a salvage title for stolen or vandalized vehicles which are not recovered by police within 21 days . In such cases insurance companies declare a vehicle total loss and pay off the previous owner; but, in others, it is issued only for losses due to damage . Under some circumstances, a salvage title denotation may be removed or replaced with a Rebuilt Salvage designation; and cars imported to, or exported from, the United States may be issued a clean title regardless of history . </P> <P> Because a salvage title can be issued to a vehicle with easily repairable problems or no damage whatsoever, the low cost of the salvaged motorcycle or car is appealing to some hobbyists and investors . Experts recommend caution when purchasing a salvaged vehicle, because there may be hidden damage, which, if unrepairable, may render the vehicle a "pile of parts ." </P>
