This S550 I got has a salvage title now. I could see where it would be
very costly to repair with new parts or even aftermarket, but it has
been quite doable with used parts and a few new ones, aside from the
effort and time involved with the chase. Once it's done the car will be
fine, not really anything structural or fatal. I suppose it will never
be worth what a straight-title car is, but it has been fun to sort it
out. I have one more part coming and then I should be able to get it
all back together, change the trans filter/fluid, and get the AC
sorted. I'll maybe have $2k into all that so it is kind of a "cheap"
way to get a nice big newer S.

Yes, it's when the insurance company has determined that damage exceeds value of the car
and they buy it. They will then sell it on with a "Salvage" brand on the title.
I guess it may also happen if you sell the car directly to a salvage dealer and
they resell it?
I have had insurance deem a car a total loss, but I thought I could repair it
so bought it back for the salvage value. They just deducted that from what they
paid for the loss. In that case the title never changed hands so it was still a
normal title.

Is the most common cause of salvage title when a car was totaled?
