Salvage and rebuilt titles in Pennsylvania
- A salvage or rebuilt title is still a title: you sign it over at pickup the same way as a clean one. Select the title type in the offer form so the offer reflects it.
- A bill of sale alone is not a general substitute for a Pennsylvania title. When the title is lost and the lien is satisfied, the owner uses PennDOT MV-38O; if a lien is recorded, contact the lienholder about MV-38L and any electronic title. MV-7 is a scrap-processor reporting process, not blanket permission to sell any no-title vehicle.
- Keep the notarized title assignment and bill of sale; PennDOT has no separate seller notice form.
