What is a
Salvage Vehicle?
By law, a "salvage vehicle" is a vehicle that was transferred to or acquired by an insurance company with a Salvage Certificate (MV-907A) because it has significant damage (because of a collision, theft, vandalism, or from water), has repair costs that are more than 75% of the pre-damage retail value of the vehicle, was issued a salvage title from another state and brought to New York, or was declared a 'wreck' on the back of its New York State title by the owner at the time of sale or transfer.
