not sure in your state but in nv. when you buy soming with savage title you got to go to dmv and get a mech check list..you then go to a license shop and have a mech check everything on list[steering-lights-front end-brakes]then you take paper work and car back to dmv for vin number check and then they issue you a new title.once this is done then car no longer is a savage title anymore.check your state dmv to see what you need to do to get a good clean title first before buying.as was said already..lot of places won't do loans on savage title cars and a lot of buyers won't buy cars this way..
