At Ridgeline Automotive, we know “salvage title” can raise questions. But don’t let the label fool you — not all salvage cars are damaged beyond repair or unsafe to drive. Here’s the truth behind a few common misconceptions: Myth 1: Salvage cars aren’t safe. Fact: Many salvage vehicles are declared a total loss due to minor damage or insurance policies — not because they’re unsafe. We ensure every vehicle we sell is professionally repaired and inspected. Myth 2: You can’t register or insure them. Fact: Once rebuilt and inspected, these vehicles can be registered and insured like any other car. We can help guide you through the process. Myth 3: They’ve all been in bad accidents. Fact: Some were lightly damaged by hail, vandalism, or even declared salvage after being stolen and recovered. Not every case involves major collision damage. Myth 4: They’re not worth it. Fact: Salvage title vehicles often cost 25-30% less than clean title cars — making them a smart choice for budget-conscious buyers who want quality and value. Thinking About Buying Salvage? At Ridgeline Automotive, we specialize in reliable, rebuilt vehicles you can trust. Every car is inspected, road-tested, and ready for its next chapter.
