Clean Title
A title with no salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon, or other branding.
What it means
A clean title means the vehicle has no recorded insurance total loss, flood damage, lemon-law buyback, or odometer-rollback brand. Clean-title cars generally sell for more at auction, which means a larger tax deduction for the donor. Most everyday vehicles donated to Cars Helping Kids have clean titles.
