hey guys I have a question regarding salvage titles

is it possible for a car to get a salvage title because it had a lien from a loan, the person defaulted on the loan, and the bank had to liquidate the asset somehow?

I bought a 2010 civic ex some time ago, no mechanical or esthetical issues at all, very few miles on it..I absolutely love it...but it got a salvage title from Texas. it also has a loan/lien brand according to autocheck, but autocheck also says it had 0 accidents reported.

the case seems really unusual to me..but I don't know enough about the system. your help is much appreciated.

I can't answer your exact question but I think the definition of Salvage titles is different for each state. Probably best to call local dmv.

a "salvage" title normally is only issued to a vehicle that has been "written off" by an insurance company for damages, meaning the damages were more expensive to fix then the car is worth,

Some states will salvage title your car if it is stolen, no crash involved.

Flood car?

Thanks for the replies guys. There are no flood damage brands...and no visible trace of flood damage. No theft reports...no accident reports....just a loan brand and a salvage title brand from texas
