Rebuilt or branded titles and financing

The upside of buying a vehicle with a rebuilt or branded title is that you can own and drive one for significantly less that the identical car with a clean title.

The downside is that nagging question of whether it truly was repaired properly, and of course its subsequent resale value. 

Also, if you plan to finance the purchase the lending institute will almost certainly require a Fair Market Value appraisal.

How do you get financing on your branded or rebuilt title? How do you get financing on your branded or rebuilt title?

OK, the first question to address is what is the difference between a branded, salvage and rebuilt, or reconstructed title? A ‘branded’ title is any title that is not a ‘clean’ title.
