How do I determine if a car has been title-washed?

There are cases, you may not be able to know for sure whether the car has been title washed or not. But following are some tips you can use:

• First of all check the title of the vehicle. If the car is an out-of-state vehicle make sure it does not say “salvaged“. If the title doesn’t say the car is salvaged then:
• Make sure the paint on the outside of the car matches the paint inside the door frame.
• Check to see if that the parts of the car line up with each other. Also make sure that the gaps between the doors and around the hood and trunk are straight and even.
• Take the car to a mechanic. Ask him to check underneath for evidence of welding of the frame or unibody.
• Look for evidence of flood damage. Check under the mat for mud or dirt. Look for watermarks on the inside of the doors, and for moisture inside the trunk and under the seats.
