well, may uncle bought a 96 accord ex which had a branded title, bought for dirt cheap. but first he had to fix what was wrong with it, lights, etc. than he had to go to the state police inspectiion center so it would get approved there. But from what i understand, it says salvage. I could be wrong, though. (oh yea, he bought the car for 2500, with 50,000miles on it, for a dealer auction)
