>
>New Owner Reported - When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be

>Personal Use - Vehicle was registered by the owner for private or personal use.

>Salvage Title - A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent
>that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair
>market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer
>or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as
>Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not
