Leading evidence: 'engine issues' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'engine issues' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Repair cost, -my deductable' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

A lot of people think that because the car has a previous accident that was repaired it means the cars is now "rebuilt".

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I always make sure to ask sellers about that rather than just writing off the car. A lot of people think that because the car has a previous accident that was repaired it means the cars is now "rebuilt". It's perfectly reasonable this guy thinks because the engine is blown the car is now a "salvage".
I think what folks are saying is that the seller may have incorrectly stated that the title was salvage because the engine is blown. Assuming that this is just an engine failure, that obviously would not result in a salvage title unless there was something like a deep puddle and an insurance claim. It could also be that the title is already salvage, which is unlikely if you assume that the car was being driven on the road when the engine blew. Salvage vehicles must be inspected and issued a Rebuilt title prior to re-registration, so if it truly is a Salvage title due to something other than an event that precipitated the engine failure, it would be an odd situation indeed.
If it is Salvage, my guess is that he bottomed out and damaged the engine (oil loss, etc) or it sucked water, both of which could result in a claim that would render the title Salvage.
Repeat post,, but Oregon does a title brand when any accident report is filed,, (Over $2K) or ANY vehicle theft.
I've managed to dodge it a couple times.. First thing is I didn't "buy" the car back, I simply asked them to pay
me their best number and let me handle the repair. The number we settled on was the estimated repair cost, -my deductable.

lvage title was due to engine issues when a rock kicked up and broke a water hose camp. The engine overheated which totaled the car.
Every state does their own thing with salvage titles, that's why you can "wash" one if you re title though the right combo of states.
the one thing car fax has done is make it way harder..
