Operating a Rebuilt Auto in North Carolina
The NC DMV would like those interested in Salvage and Gray Market Vehicle titles to call (919) 861-3500 to get information for their specific situation. In general, if you have a salvage title car that you have rebuilt to working condition:
- You must rebuild the car, keeping a bill of sale or titles from all the cars used.
- The car must get a safety inspection.
- The car must pass an emissions test.
Purchase a Vehicle History Report
If you are interested in buying used cars, invest in a vehicle history report, or VHR. This is a record that shows the entire vehicle history, including all the accidents and salvage titles the car has ever been involved with.
Most companies have two options for the VHR: a single report, or a month or more access. If you’ll be shopping around, pay the one-time fee for the longer access, so you can look up all the cars you like.
Make sure you get the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from more than a single location on the car. All the VINs should match. If the car is rebuilt, the mechanic should be able to produce a bill of sale or car title from every junked car he got a part from.
