What is a Title Brand?
Title brands tell potential customers whether a used vehicle has sustained damage or might be potentially unsafe to drive. Note that if a vehicle's title has been "branded," it is an official designation made by a state agency and should appear on the vehicle's title paperwork. Neither individuals nor private companies can brand titles.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

While title brands vary by state, some of the most common ones include:
Salvage
Junk
Totaled
Lemon
Flood
Reconstructed

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Not only do different states have their own specific set of title brands, but what might be considered a salvage title in one state may have a slightly different definition in another state. If you have questions about what title brands are used in your state, we recommend contacting your state's department of motor vehicles.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

An AutoCheck vehicle history report is a valuable tool when trying to figure out whether a vehicle you want to purchase has a branded title. Within the report, you will be notified of any records that AutoCheck has in its database on whether or not a branded title has been issued on a specific vehicle.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Odometer Rollback Title Brand
You should know from the outset that detecting odometer rollback is very difficult if you are not a certified mechanic, mostly because anyone who commits the fraudulent act of rolling back an odometer to conceal actual mileage is aware of how to hide it.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Generally speaking, if a certain element of a vehicle has malfunctioned several times while under warranty, and this malfunctioning element makes the car inoperable or unsafe to drive, such a vehicle could be branded by the state as a lemon on its title.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

The key point is that the problem with the vehicle must be so severe as to make the vehicle a) undriveable or b) unsafe to drive. If your car is making a strange noise, but drives just fine, most likely your vehicle would not be classified as a lemon. If your car's brakes or headlights don't work or if the car cannot drive in reverse, those are more serious problems that would probably make the car a lemon.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Another key point is that the manufacturer be given a chance to repair the problem. If the vehicle continues to have the same problem (even after three or four attempts to repair it), the vehicle can be branded as a lemon. In addition, the problems must have occurred during the warranty period.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

To find out if your vehicle is a lemon, purchase an AutoCheck vehicle history report. AutoCheck will note on your report if the vehicle has a lemon title.
It's important to remember that each state has its own lemon law. Your vehicle might be considered a lemon in one state but not considered a lemon in another state. Contact your state department of motor vehicles to learn more about the lemon laws in your state.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Salvage Title Brand
A salvage title is often issued by states when a vehicle is damaged and the cost to repair is significant (usually if it is over a certain percentage of fair market value). One way a vehicle may end up with a salvage title is when an insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss.

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Some signs of whether a vehicle may have an odometer rollback problem include:
Excessive wear in places such as gas and brake pedals, floor mats and seats
Mismatched tires
Missing screws around the dashboard or signs that the dashboard has been removed
Mileage on vehicle and title don't match up
Misaligned numbers on the odometer

http://www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/autocheck/en/learn-about-title-brands

Remember that these types of signs could be normal wear and tear on a vehicle, and none of them are a sure sign that the odometer has been compromised. However, if you notice any of these things, it would be a good idea to bring it to the attention of the mechanic doing your inspection.
