Section 39.02.05.303 - REBUILT SALVAGE VEHICLES01.Rebuilt Salvage Vehicle. A rebuilt salvage vehicle, as defined by Section 49-123 (2)(m), Idaho Code, includes every "Salvage or Total Loss Vehicle" that has been rebuilt, in compliance with applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards and the requirements of Chapter 9, Title 49, Idaho Code, as regulated by Sections 49-524 and 49-525, Idaho Code.02.Salvage Vehicles from Other Jurisdictions. Every vehicle that is coming into Idaho from another jurisdiction with a Salvage Certificate or other equivalent document showing evidence of a total loss payoff such as a bill of sale from an insurance company, or other documentation indicating that the vehicle may have been a salvage or total loss vehicle and any vehicle for which information retrieved from the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) indicates it has been reported as "salvage" will be considered salvage unless there is sufficient evidence for the department to determine the salvage document or information retrieved from NMVTIS was in error. These vehicles may not be operated on Idaho highways until rebuilt in compliance with Chapter 9, Title 49, Idaho Code and all federal motor vehicle safety and emission standards in effect for the model year and type of vehicle. They will be issued an Idaho Salvage Certificate unless the other jurisdiction has issued a salvage certificate or other equivalent salvage ownership document. If any salvage vehicle is received by a "salvage pool" (as described in Section 49-120(4), Idaho Code), an Idaho salvage certificate of title will be issued, prior to sale unless the vehicle has a salvage certificate or other equivalent salvage ownership document issued by another jurisdiction. Any vehicle which has been declared junk, pursuant to Sections 49-516 and 49-522, Idaho Code, or is coming from another jurisdiction with a similar endorsement, or is designated by the owner or the insurance company as parts only, destroyed, or dismantled, may not be rebuilt for on-road use. Any vehicle NMVTIS indicates has been reported as having been scrapped or crushed may only be retitled with the brand, "For Junk Only". If other information retrieved from NMVTIS indicates a vehicle qualifies for a "brand" as defined in this rule, the Department may brand the title accordingly. The provisions of this section will not apply if there is sufficient evidence for the department to determine the information retrieved from NMVTIS was in error.03.Title Application Requirements for Vehicles Defined as Salvage and Rebuilt Salvage Vehicles.a. The applicant will provide a written statement which includes the vehicle information, vehicle identification numbers, salvage date, and the work done personally by the owner or supervised by the owner to restore the vehicle to the operating condition that existed prior to the event causing the vehicle to be salvaged.b. In the event that the applicant did not personally repair the vehicle or supervise its repair, but another party performed the repairs, the applicant will certify to the best of his knowledge the name of the party that did repair the vehicle or personally supervised its repair. This certification will be made on a salvage vehicle statement. If there is no indication in the ownership documentation that the vehicle had previously been declared salvage or a total loss and the applicant does not know who repaired the vehicle, they may certify this on a salvage vehicle statement.c. In the event that repairs were not necessary to bring the vehicle to operating condition pursuant to Chapter 9, Title 49, Idaho Code, the applicant will certify this on a salvage vehicle statement.d. The applicant will sign an indemnifying statement agreeing to defend the title in all legal disputes arising out of his possession of the title to the vehicle, and attesting to the fact that all information contained in the statement and its attachments are true and correct.e. The new Idaho title issued will be branded "REBUILT SALVAGE." Such notation will remain on the title and on all subsequent transfers of the title.04.Salvage Vehicle Damaged Out-of-State. If a vehicle that is titled in Idaho is damaged in another state or jurisdiction to the extent that the vehicle becomes a "salvage vehicle" as defined by Section 49-123(2)(o), Idaho Code, and the vehicle is not going to be returned to Idaho, the owner or insurer will, upon determining the vehicle to be salvage, notify the purchaser and the Department in writing of the salvage status. If this vehicle returns to Idaho, the title will be branded "Rebuilt Salvage" or carry another jurisdiction's comparable brand forward unless the vehicle has not yet been repaired and has not had a salvage certificate or other salvage ownership document issued by another jurisdiction in which case the owner will obtain an Idaho salvage certificate of title.Idaho Admin.
