What Does It Mean When a Car Is Totaled?

A vehicle is declared a total loss when the cost of repairs exceeds a certain percentage of the car's actual cash value. In Florida, an insurance company will typically total a car when the repair estimate approaches or exceeds the vehicle's pre-accident market value. Once that determination is made, the insurer pays out the claim and the vehicle receives a salvage title designation.

Why Sell a Totaled Car to MSB Instead of Keeping It?

Many people think a totaled car has no value, but that is far from the truth. Totaled vehicles still contain valuable parts, components, and recyclable metals. The engine, transmission, body panels, wheels, electronics, and interior components can all hold significant value even when the car as a whole is not worth repairing. MSB evaluates every vehicle we consider among the cars we buy based on its individual components, not just its scrap weight.

Keeping a totaled car on your property has drawbacks. It takes up space, may attract fines from your HOA or local code enforcement, and continues to lose value as parts corrode and degrade. Selling your car to MSB removes the problem immediately and puts cash for your junk car in your pocket.

How We Determine the Value of a Totaled Car

Our pricing considers multiple factors including the year, make, and model of the vehicle, the type and extent of damage, the condition of salvageable parts, current demand for those parts, the weight of the vehicle, and current scrap metal market prices. Newer vehicles and popular models often bring higher offers because their parts are in greater demand. We always aim to give you the best possible price.

Side impact and T-bone damage
Rollover and roof crush damage
Fire and smoke damage
Vandalism and theft recovery damage

Selling to MSB vs. Going Through Insurance

When your insurance company totals your car, they will offer you a settlement based on the vehicle's pre-accident value. In many cases, you may feel the insurance payout is too low. Here is where MSB can provide additional value. If you own the vehicle outright and retain it after the insurance settlement, you can sell the salvage vehicle to us for additional cash on top of what the insurance company paid.

Salvage Titles and What They Mean

Once a vehicle is declared a total loss, the Florida DMV issues a salvage title to indicate that the car has sustained significant damage. A salvage title does not prevent you from selling the vehicle. MSB purchases salvage-title vehicles regularly. We understand the paperwork involved and can walk you through the entire process. Whether your vehicle has a clean title, salvage title, or rebuilt title, we want to make you an offer.

Common Types of Damage We Accept

There is no type of damage that will cause us to turn you away. We buy vehicles that have been in head-on collisions, rear-end accidents, side impacts, rollovers, and multi-vehicle pileups. We also purchase vehicles with fire damage, hail damage, vandalism damage, and mechanical failures that exceed the cost of repair. If your car has been totaled for any reason, MSB wants to buy it.

Questions About Selling a Totaled Car

The value of a totaled car depends on the year, make, model, extent of damage, condition of remaining parts, and current scrap metal prices. Newer vehicles and popular models typically bring higher offers because their parts remain in demand. Call us at 941-575-4008 for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your vehicle.
If you still owe money on the vehicle, the lienholder is typically listed on the title. In most cases, the insurance settlement covers the remaining loan balance. If you have retained the vehicle after your insurance claim and the loan has been satisfied, you can sell the salvage vehicle to us. Call us to discuss your specific situation.
Not necessarily. If you own the vehicle outright and choose not to file an insurance claim, you can sell the totaled car directly to us. If an insurance claim is involved, the process may depend on whether the insurer has taken ownership of the vehicle or if you have retained it. We can help you figure out the best path forward.
A car is totaled when the repair costs exceed a certain percentage of the vehicle's market value. This can result from collision damage, flood damage, fire damage, hail damage, vandalism, or severe mechanical failure. Whether your vehicle was officially declared a total loss by an insurer or you simply consider it too expensive to repair, we will buy it.
Yes. We regularly purchase vehicles with salvage titles, rebuilt titles, and clean titles alike. The type of title does not prevent us from making you a fair cash offer. We understand the paperwork for each title type and handle everything on our end.
In most cases, we can pick up your totaled vehicle the same day you accept our offer. We operate our own fleet of tow trucks throughout Southwest Florida, which means we control the schedule and can move quickly. Next-day pickup is always available if that works better for you.
