All types of branded vehicle titles explained

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We are so thankful for the support of the VINwiki channel this year. Thank you all for watching and we wish you and yours the happiest of holidays.

Ed is the type to go into the DMV with a salvaged title, shrewdly negotiate, meet in the middle smack dab on a clean title and walk out.

If Ed was my Professor at university, I would’ve gotten straight (A)s

Only Ed can use “ delta “ instead of “ the difference “ in a car conversation and no one bats an eye

The law of ed: any story involving a gallardo there will be a photos of kimmies lambo

Would you own a car with a branded title?

I could follow it, but i'm hungry for more info on title washing states. Well spoken Ed, thanks

Never thought I would ever want to watch a video about an individual talking about the different types of titles for vehicles and how they occur and work, but of course Ed Bolian has made this subject seem very interesting with his storytelling skills! Happy thanksgiving Ed!

It’s pathetic that I know much more about the US car market than the European Market and I live in Europe ..

Very valuable information in this video. Great video Ed!

Happy Thanksgiving Ed. I hope you and you family have a great day. Thank you for the free knowledge us newer guys really appreciate it.

Of course Ed does photo shoots with the gated Mercy and a snake.

Another thing. My cousin bought a 911 with a parts title, and even though it can never be titled for road use, he rebuilt it as a race car.

I work in the Automotive Industry and we happen to specialize in all sorts of Branded Title Vehicles. I now consider myself a Branded Title Expert and I couldn’t have explained this better myself. Ed did a phenomenal job explaining each type of Brand. I just wish I had seen this video at the start of my career and saved myself from the trouble of learning all of this on my own!

This made my Thanksgiving!! Thank you for taking my suggestion to heart and doing this video, Ed. Hope everyone from the VINWiki family is safe and enjoying the holiday. 🦃🥧

Ed: I'm currently searching for my dream car on a budget, but in cash. This information is coming at the exact perfect time. Some of the candidates do have title brands, and I've had lots of questions Google hasn't been forthcoming in answering. I have to give you a heartfelt thanks and all the appreciation in the world right now as you may have made my dreams much, much more attainable. Thanks, Ed.

Ed - the info in this vid is so good you should sell access to it for $1,000 a view. Thank you for enlightening us mere mortals.

1year later and 1/2 a million subs, here we are. Appreciate the content Ed and crew.

FYI I've personally title-washed a Florida cert of destruction car (only had a smoked oil pan) by transferring it to a friend in KY, where residents can get a salvage rebuildable title for Florida cert of destruction cars, if you get 2 mechanics to sign off on it as being safe, with pictures of the damage, and then transferred it back to me. I didn't even need to bring the car to KY.

Interesting video Ed, in Australia it's very similar but simpler, we don't have a "title" per se, we have a different registration in every state (different colour number plates or "tags" for each state etc..) and that is your "title" of ownership. We also have the PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register) were you can do a $2 online search that will tell you if there is finance owing or any lien etc on a used vehicle that you buy privately or even through a dealer. In the case of damaged or insurance claims made on vehicle we have a WOVR (Written Off Vehicle Register), there are basically two types of "title brand" in relation to this, a statutory write-off (vehicle is too damaged to be re-registered and is only good for parts or scrap) and a repairable write-off, this is where the insurance company deems that it is not economical enough for them to repair the vehicle and pays out the owner (or finance company) the agreed or market value of the car but the car is not damaged enough to be a statutory write-off. Both types of these write-off's can be bought at salvage auctions and you are informed at the time of the auction what category they are, similar to what you said a repairable write-off can be fixed an after a safety check can be re-registered and driven on the road (apologies for long post).
