Question 1

What is a rebuilt title vehicle?

Accepted Answer

A rebuilt title is issued when a previously salvaged vehicle has been repaired, re-inspected by the state, and certified as roadworthy. The title is permanently branded as 'rebuilt' so future buyers know its history.

Question 2

Are rebuilt title cars safe to drive?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every rebuilt vehicle on our lot has passed Ohio's state-mandated rebuilt-title inspection, plus our own multi-point mechanical and safety inspection before listing. We only sell rebuilt cars we'd put our own family in.

Question 3

Can I get insurance on a rebuilt title car?

Accepted Answer

Most major insurers (Progressive, GEICO, State Farm, Allstate, etc.) offer liability and full coverage on rebuilt titles. Premiums are typically the same or slightly lower than a clean title car. We're happy to recommend agents who specialize in rebuilt-title coverage.

Question 4

Can I finance a rebuilt title vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with multiple lenders who finance rebuilt titles, including options for buyers with all credit profiles. Rates and terms are competitive — apply online and we'll match you with the best fit.

Question 5

Why are rebuilt title cars cheaper?

Accepted Answer

Rebuilt vehicles typically sell for 20–40% less than the same year/make/model with a clean title. That's the savings — same car, same reliability after repair, lower price.

Question 6

Will a rebuilt title affect resale value?

Accepted Answer

Yes — rebuilt titles do resell for less than clean-title equivalents. We disclose this up front so you can buy with full knowledge. Many of our customers keep their rebuilt cars long-term and enjoy the savings without worrying about resale.

Question 7

Do rebuilt title cars come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Every Prestige Rides vehicle qualifies for our extended warranty plans (powertrain, bumper-to-bumper, or exclusionary). Coverage is identical regardless of title type.

Question 8

How do I know if a car is clean or rebuilt title?

Accepted Answer

Every listing on our site shows a colored badge — green/red for Clean Title, amber for Rebuilt Title — right on the inventory card and the vehicle detail page. No surprises at the desk.
