Intermountain Motors maintains a trusted dealership for rebuilt title vehicles, Bill has been selling quality rebuilt title cars,trucks,and RVs since 1985, with 45 years in the industry. We use professional repair facilities who rebuild vehicles that are purchased by us and we purchase the parts and supervise all repairs at our dealership. Once the vehicles are restored and inspected by the State Of Utah by an independent third party shop, where we get an alignment, a safety and emission, that is  all pertinent documentation. 

The next step in the sales process is to make the buying experience as convenient and hassle-free for our customers as possible. Our sales consultants are there to help customers make informed buying decisions, not pressure them into a sale. We believe in a transparent and honest approach to the sales process. Our primary incentive is satisfied customers. We encourage buyers to have their own mechanic inspect the vehicle prior to purchasing, and we welcome them to compare our prices anywhere in the state.

All of our vehicles have a full history report and pre-restoration photos when available . They also come with a  6 month  warranty on the repairs we made and options to purchase additional warranty coverage. We are committed to making customers for life.

What is a Rebuilt Salvage Title?

When a vehicle is damaged in a  accident, or theft, the insurance company makes a determination whether or not to repair it. Many times, the insurance company determines that it is less expensive to not repair the car, so they total it. When these vehicles are purchased from the insurance company by salvage yards or rebuilders, they receive a salvaged title.

Once a vehicle with a salvage title has been repaired or rebuilt, it can be titled and registered for road use again. The vehicle must first pass an inspection by a specially-trained law enforcement officer. After the inspection, a new title is issued with the legend, “REBUILT SALVAGE.” This legend alerts future owners that the vehicle was once a salvage title. A license plate can be issued when the "rebuilt" title application is processed. Under Utah law, a safety and emission test is necessary to be  sold  in Utah.

I thought salvage title cars are “totaled”?

“Totaled” means an economic total loss. This doesn’t equate to the amount of damage the vehicle suffered. Regardless of mileage, the older a car is, the more likely it will be written off by the insurance company. The lower the value of the vehicle, the lighter the damage required for an insurance company to write it off rather than repair it.

The salvage industry is well established in this country. At Intermountain Motors we have access to thousands of cars every week through salvage auctions. The majority of these auction vehicles are not worth repairing, but we do frequently come across cars that have only minor damage or none at all. These are the vehicles that we are interested in. We don’t buy anything with severe damage because it isn’t economical to repair them.

How common are Rebuilt Salvage Vehicles?

The fact is that nearly all retail dealers have body shops on site. The vast majority of used cars get bodywork but the difference is that we disclose all of our repairs. Most dealers do not. This is because we believe that there is nothing wrong with buying a car that has had body work done, but you should be able to buy it for less.

Do I have to do any special paperwork if I am buying a vehicle with a Rebuilt Salvage title?

There is no special paperwork required when buying a vehicle with a Rebuilt Salvage title from Intermountain motors. The inspection and the processing are taken care of by our dealership. Once the customer receives the title, they can sell it just like any other vehicle.

Can I get insurance for a Rebuilt Salvage vehicle?

Yes. Insurance is available on rebuilt salvage title vehicles. If the vehicle is totaled, most insurance companies pay the customers approximately 80% of the market value.

Can I register a rebuilt salvage vehicle in another state?

Rebuilt salvage vehicles are no different than any other car. The initial 15-day registration we issue is free of charge as long as you have insurance. Rebuilt Salvage cars will register and transfer just like any other car.
