A salvage car simply refers to a car with a Salvage Title, also known as Rebuildable Title. This is a type of title branding to indicate that a car was damaged to a point whereby the insurance company decided to take its ownership. This normally happens after claims are made and the insurance company decides to declare a car “Total Loss”, in which case the cost of repairs would be more than the actual value of the car. Most cars that will be declared as salvage are those that got involved in horrific accidents and ends up with a lot of damages, both to the car’s body and vital internal parts such as the engine.
The definition of junk cars on the other hand is not as clear-cut as salvage cars. The definition tends to vary according to the make and model of the car, as well as the year of manufacture. At its very basic, a junk car can simply be defined as a car without any value as a vehicle or as parts.
The only value such as a car has is the scrap value or the value of the materials which is made of such as the aluminum body, the rims, tires etc. In most cases, the value of a junk car is based on its weight and they are normally sold as recyclable metal. Junk cars can come in all shapes ranging from clean to salvage to no title and to everything in between.
