Texas title brands, in plain English
- Salvage: damaged enough to be declared a loss, but repairable
- Rebuilt: a former salvage vehicle that was repaired and re-titled — it can be registered and driven
- Nonrepairable: for parts or scrap only; it cannot be titled to drive again
Who buys branded-title cars
Many franchise dealers will not touch branded titles. Dealer networks, wholesale buyers and auctions that specialise in them are usually your best options.
VendacarUSA puts one submission in front of a network of dealers, including ones that buy rebuilt and salvage vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to disclose a salvage or rebuilt title?
Yes. The brand is on the title and in history reports, and buyers must be told.
Can I drive a salvage-title car in Texas?
Not on public roads until it is repaired and re-titled as rebuilt.
Will VendacarUSA make an offer on a nonrepairable car?
Submit it with photos. Offers on nonrepairable vehicles reflect parts value.
