Buying a salvage car can be a great way to save money on your next vehicle. However, it's essential to approach the process with caution and knowledge. By understanding how the process works, you can ensure you're making an informed decision and getting the best possible deal.

Here are some important factors to take into account when you’re in the market for a damaged car:

1. Understand salvage titles

A salvage title indicates that an insurance company has deemed the vehicle a total loss due to damage. This can significantly affect the vehicle's resale value and insurance costs.

2. Consider timed auctions

Hallmark Auto offers a wide range of damaged cars through online timed auctions. Our auctions provide excellent opportunities to purchase salvage vehicles at competitive prices. You can bid on damaged cars from the comfort of your home. You'll discover a variety of options and competitive pricing.

3. Important considerations

Should you wish to restore the vehicle, you must factor in the cost of repairs. These costs can be significant, especially for major damage. It’s important to note that salvage cars also typically have lower resale values than clean-title vehicles. Salvage cars may sometimes have underlying damage, such as structural or electrical issues, that is not immediately apparent.

4. Get a mechanic onboard

A reliable salvage dealer should allow you to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic of your choice. This will give you peace of mind and help you identify potential issues.
