Default Here we go...AGAIN!

I'm trying to sell my 2008 corvette which I posted in the for sale section. However after I gave the VIN number it seems my car was reported in an accident from Carfax and Autocheck.
My car has never been in any accident of any kind, my insurance company of 7 years knows of no such accident, and now I just got off the phone with California Motor Vehicles and they know of no accident and say I don't have a "Salvage Title" whatever that means.
What is a Salvage title anyways?
Thanks in advance,
Steve

You are obviously not serious about selling your car, myself and many others left you contact information, but no one got so much as a courtesy call back. Your ad was locked by the moderators after receiving complaints. Maybe you should take your love for drama and bs elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.

A salvage title is when the owner or another party buys the car back from the insurance company after a settlement (generally after a total claim) and puts it back together and back on the road. The title will be branded as salvaged since the insurance company deemed it worthy of being totalled and believed it shouldn't be on the road.

Did you buy this car new? Are you the only owner?

It sounds like the first people you need to be on the phone with is CarFax and your insurance provider as they may have ways of dealing with this.

Talon,

He already knows, he just enjoys yanking everybody's chain with a car that he fails to follow through with anything but a bunch of baloney.
