The Temptation of the Lower Price Tag
A price tag that's much lower than the standard listing price of a pre-owned vehicle may look enticing, but it's often hiding a salvage title. A salvage or rebuilt title is a vehicle that was deemed a "total loss" by insurance, having suffered heavy damage from an accident, flooding, or damage to the frame. Meanwhile, a clean title lacks that designation in its maintenance history. The savings you may have received from a salvage title from a private seller will quickly disappear thanks to the hassle to maintain it, which is why you should get a clean title from The Sisbarro Dealerships instead.
The Hidden Costs and Risks of Salvage Titles
Most insurance carriers outright refuse full coverage on salvage titles, or otherwise charge much higher premiums. There's a similar issue with getting an auto loan, as major lenders and credit unions refuse to finance a total-loss vehicle. Of course, there are also hidden safety risks, such as a compromised structural frame, deployed or unreplaced airbags, or electrical rot from hidden flood damage. Not to mention, salvage vehicles immediately lose 20% to 40% of their standard market value and are almost impossible to trade in later.
Why Clean-Title Vehicles Offer True Long-Term Value
A clean title vehicle is a much better option, providing many benefits such as:
- Lower maintenance risks
- Factory/extended warranty eligibility
- Standard auto insurance rates
Of course, you can also rest easy knowing that your vehicle's structural integrity and safety systems are 100% intact while driving on desert highways, thanks to access to your vehicle's readily available maintenance history.
