All types of branded vehicle titles explained 

Enjoy your day, Ed!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Ed, we appreciate your work!

Mr bolian I need information about a manual murcialago this is not fake seriously

Same to you, and yours sir. Many thanks to you and your production crew for all that you do for the automotive community.

Happy Thanksgiving Ed, nice video

This was my EXACT thought while I was watching this.

I agree.

I’d wager you’d end up right smack dab in the middle with straight (C)s

Well, as far as I know about Spain's, there's no such thing as branded titles. You have your car and the paperwork that shows you're the owner. When buying a second hand car, I think there's a way for you to know whether you are actually the second, third or n-th owner but I think you can't by looking at that paperwork. If you have an accident you have to options: nothing happened, including something happened but the car got repaired and back on the road. Or something actually happened, meaning it's deemed a "siniestro total" (kind of "totaled"). That is, the car has been destroyed, though sometimes it hasn't but the accident has caused some serious damage and the insurance company (the other guy's insurance company if it was their fault, sometimes yours if your car was insured as "a todo riesgo", which translates as "at all risk", meaning "no matter what happens, the insurance will have you covered") prefers to pay you the market value of your car rather than fixing it as this would be more expensive. Either way, you only have two options or kind of two and a half options. You have a perfectly legal car on the road of which you don't know its previous history unless the previous owner tells you, or your car is gone for good, be it due to an accident, be it because you get rid of it for good (*). There is kind of a third option, and this when your car is declared "dado de baja temporal", which means you oficially ask our "DMV" (DGT here) to declare your car as temporarily unable to get it on the road (I can't find a better translation). Your car is fine, but say you are going to live away from home for a few months and you're not taking your car with you, or maybe it needs a big repair that will take some time, or you have inherited the car and you want to keep it but won't use it for a while. That way you still own the car but you can't use it on the road. This way you won't have to pay taxes and some other things. (*) In Spain we have the so called ITV (Inspección Técnica de Vehículos - Vehicle Technical Inspection) which is, say, a periodic series of test every single motor vehicle has to pass. It depends on the vehicle but, for example, cars don't have to pass it until they are four years old. From then on they will have to pass it every two years until they're ten and, from then on, every year. My previous car was already 21 years old when it failed the test due to some problems with the rear axle. My mechanic tried to find another axle to replace it but didn't find any. I could have just taken it out temporarily until a good rear axle was found, but my mechanic didn't have good expectations and, given that I had to fix some other minor things in the car, I chose to say goodbye to it and find another. The car would run fine, but as it wouldn't pass that test, it had to go.

Same same. I know a guy who imports USA cars with some branded tittles. This is in Bulgaria. No problem with getting it registered, insured and etc. Since we don't have titles. Also fixing the Cars costs like HALF or 1/3 of what it costs in the USA. Problem is the Import tax and some other taxes. Which in total are 30 % on top of the price you bough the car. And you have to wait to pass Customs. It can take up to 4-5 weeks . On the hand, you can actually sell it to somebody in Europe as a clean car and make profit out of it.

wait why is it 20 hours ago

@@14ronn13 they uploaded it to the channel before putting it to public

& yes i would if i knew it was worth it

As long as it's not flood damage. Been there done that. Never again

Tennessee, especially hawkins county, is the greatest. I've taken several salvage/rebuilt and once you register and pay wheel tax , they always print a clean sheet. That doesn't affect carfax, but it doesn't say salvage/ rebuilt. Don't say anything, just register it like anything else. ( Washington, Sullivan and unicoi counties are also a good bet) tennessee

@@chuckwhitson654 do you need a TN address to register/get a title?

@@robertperillo1799 Not shady at all...

@@ebels3 Im just trying to buy some salvage auction cars and my state doesn’t allow rebuilds by anyone who’s not a state approved body shop

@@robertperillo1799 -- you know why that is a red flag ? that means the state has no one qualified to inspect the cars for a proper repair.. so its up to the ethics of the "state approved body shop" that "fixed" the car

Carfax isn't a magical tool that knows anything going on with a car. If the person that got into minor accident never reported to their insurance and/or to the police, Carfax generally won't know that car was in an accident.

Every so often he lets it slip how much he's a businessman with a strong background in accounting.

Growing up in Georgia it used to be like that. Not sure how it is anymore. First car I ever bought I picked it up from the "lot" that was just small enough to still be legally considered a private seller, drove it home stopping by the insurance place on the way. Next day I drove over to the DMV, paid my $35 if I remember right, and the lady behind the counter hands me a permanent plate from the stack next to her. Put the plate on, and on the way home stop by the parts store to pick up new brake lights because none of them were working, new plugs and wires to fix the misfire throwing the check engine light, and a multimeter to try and figure out why the horn wasn't working. Now that I live in California, buying a used car is very similar to buying a house except for slightly more paperwork involved for the car.

I think South Dakota also. You can throw a headlight and taillight on your 4 wheeler and get plates for it also.

@@jasonpatterson2143 I saw a guy sitting on the curb on w 41st in Sioux Falls a couple of years ago. His quad was obliterated. Police used to do speed traps on Kiwanis with their 4 wheelers. Have not seen one of those in a couple years though. Yep 4 wheelers are all over. It is kind of neat seeing them in a group of motorcycles riding around town.

@@jasonpatterson2143 same way in west Virginia lol!

Just like the IRS. No paper trail means it didn't happen.

@@1337penguinman lol

That's the best way to build a car on the cheap.

@@ebels3 total waste of money

If I ever have enough disposable income, that will be my plan as well...

@@labeebrahman702 i mean think about it. Say the motor is gone but you wanted to toss a diffrent one in, or suspension is trashed ect. Youre going to get it way cheaper and then arent paying for stock then upgraded parts, youre cutting to the chase. If the other damage isnt huge it may actually be a far better option in that scenario

​@@labeebrahman702 to be fair this entire hobby is a waste of money

not after the NMVTIS came into play

Because you can doesn't mean you should.

Yep - it’s because they’re in cahoots with the manufacturing co. to keep new products coming off the line and onto the road.

@@adriandenson8855 More likely that they know the availability of repair parts and whether or not they'll even be able to get the things needed for a proper, roadworthy repair. Anything less than "as delivered new" condition to them is a potential liability down the line.

Because after six years, most mainstream cars have depreciated enough that relatively minor damage will exceed the remaining value of the car.

Labor needed on the frame both on body on frame and uni body, can total a car out before the cost of replacement parts.

@@Default78334 yep, its all depreciation

How is it technically clean? It's either clean or it isn't. A "Theft Recovery" title is far from clean.

​@@jasonpatterson2143 It's not a "clean" Carfax, but it's a clean title. If you want to know how insurance companies determine title status upon theft recovery, I suggest you spend about 12 seconds on Google before making uniformed statements.

Same to you. Nice choice. Enjoy it and good luck. 👍🏼

Yeahhhh buddy!!! Happy thanksgiving and enjoy the ride

Do some burnouts!

a ctsv would crank

@@basithph8958 id love to unfortunately I live in Chicago and work 6 months out of the year in rural northern Wisconsin so I’m going to go after the AWD option because winters would be a nightmare in both states during the icy months, I’ve always been a very good driver in the snow and ice but knowing my luck it’ll run thin once I buy a new car lol.

speak for yourself. we ain't paying *hit

Those things are bulletproof.....you won’t regret it

Were you able to register it in fl again?

Bull, no new car has a 3" tolerance for being out of square. A new Mack dump truck is >1".

Is there any way or loophole at all to end up registering a “parts only” or “non rebuildable” title, or any states or anything that allow you to re-title it as registrable?

but i thought it's illegal for states to ignore NMVTIS brands when they query the vin?

I would buy it

Check on insurance first

Glad it was helpful!

nope, NMVTIS is super tight. but you can export it to live a good life with a foreigner.

saving cars from junk yards is banned in most states, sadly

i doubt that, NMVTIS is really tight

Those cars were used as taxis in the Middle East. Small possibility the car has been imported and or exported. There are also commercial title brands. Typically means it was used by a company and not a single owner. It would devalue a newer car; but no big deal on an older car dude. I wouldn’t worry about; just a bunch of different people farted on your seats is all.
