Full History
Notice the event on 9/30/2005: "COLLISION WITH A UTILITY POLE." The salvage title was issued on the car only a few months later and is highlighted in the Full History, as well as the insurance company's reported loss.
It's important to note that if a title has been "washed," meaning it has been issued a clean title even though it was branded previously, the salvage title brand won't show up on the paper title and you could end up purchasing a seriously damaged vehicle. You can avoid this by running an AutoCheck vehicle history report!
