What Exactly is a Branded Title?
A branded title might sound like a red flag, but it’s often a sign that you’ve found a fantastic deal. A vehicle receives a branded title when an insurance company or a state agency notes that it has a history of damage or another significant event. This could be from an accident, theft recovery, or even cosmetic issues like hail.
However, not all branded titles are the same. Understanding the differences helps you see the real value behind the label. Here are the most common types you’ll encounter:
- Salvage Title: An insurance company assigns a "salvage" title when they determine the cost to repair a vehicle is more than a certain percentage of its value. This is a business decision for the insurer, not always a reflection of the car's potential. Sometimes, a car with moderate, fixable damage gets a salvage title simply because it’s cheaper for the insurance company to pay out the owner and sell the vehicle.
- Rebuilt Title: This is where the magic happens! A rebuilt title is given to a vehicle that was previously marked as salvage but has since been professionally repaired and passed a strict state safety inspection. A car with a rebuilt title is certified as fully roadworthy and ready for its next adventure. At Parkline Motors, this is our specialty. We source our inventory from trusted, reputable repair facilities that restore these vehicles to exceptional condition.
- Hail Damage Title: This title is usually for vehicles with purely cosmetic damage. A car caught in a hailstorm might have dents on its body but remain mechanically perfect. These vehicles offer some of the steepest discounts for buyers who prioritize performance over flawless aesthetics.
Our goal at Parkline Motors is to give you the confidence to drive away in a car that fits both your needs and your budget. We’re here to help you navigate these options with total transparency.

4 Incredible Benefits of a Branded Title Vehicle
Choosing a branded title car is one of the smartest ways to get more for your money. Here are four key reasons why it’s a fantastic choice for budget-conscious buyers in Salt Lake City and beyond.
1. Significant Savings, Unbeatable Value
The number one reason to buy a branded title vehicle is the incredible savings. You can get a newer model with more features for a fraction of the cost of its clean-title counterpart. Why pay thousands more just for a different piece of paper? With a branded title car, your money goes further. This could mean upgrading to a larger SUV for your growing family, getting a more luxurious sedan, or simply keeping more money in your pocket for other priorities.
2. A Completely Transparent History
Ironically, a branded title often provides more transparency than a "clean" one. While many used cars have hidden accident histories that were never reported to insurance, a branded title tells you the vehicle’s story upfront. At Parkline Motors, we provide you with all the details about the vehicle's past. We believe in empowering you with information so you can make a confident and informed decision. No surprises, just honest service.
3. Top-Tier Quality Repairs
This is where Parkline Motors truly shines. We don't just sell branded title cars; we specialize in high-quality rebuilt vehicles. Our partnerships with expert repair facilities ensure that every car is restored with precision and care. Following the repairs, each vehicle must pass comprehensive state-mandated inspections to earn its rebuilt title. On top of that, we conduct our own thorough inspections to guarantee the vehicle is safe, dependable, and ready for the road. It’s like getting a like-new car without the brand-new price tag.
4. An Environmentally Friendly Choice
Choosing a branded title vehicle is not only a financially savvy move but also an environmentally responsible one. By purchasing a rebuilt car, you are giving a perfectly good vehicle a second life. This reduces automotive waste and the environmental impact associated with manufacturing a new car. It’s a purchase that’s good for your wallet and great for the planet.
