What happens to a vehicle with a salvage title in Wisconsin?

A vehicle with a salvage title in Wisconsin becomes permanently branded, meaning that the title will always reflect its salvage status regardless of any repairs that may be made. This branding serves as a warning to future buyers that the vehicle was previously deemed a total loss by an insurance company, indicating it has significant damage or issues. While the vehicle can be repaired and possibly restored to be roadworthy, the salvage title will remain on record, impacting the vehicle's resale value and requiring full disclosure when selling it. This permanent branding is crucial for transparency and ensuring that potential buyers are aware of the vehicle's history.
