What is a reconstructed title for a car, and what does it mean?

What does it mean when a duplicate title is issued for a used car?

  • I'm thinking about buying this car from a second owner and when I did a carfax, it said this: Title issued or updated Duplicate title issued Should I be worried about a duplicate copy of the title? If I buy a used car, should I get two titles? I'm new to this whole car thing and imagined buying a car, getting a title and then having some guy show up saying he has a title too and that I'm driving his car. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    A duplicate title simply means that the original was lost, that's all. If a salvage title was "washed" through a state without a salvage title it would show up as being re-titled in a different state, not as a duplicate title.

That shouldn't raise any flags for you. Many people lose their title and when they go to trade the car, apply for a new one. It is very common and nothing at all to worry about.

It usually means that either the title was lost or maybe the car was in a flood and needed a new title. I'd dig around a little more before I invest money in the car. Speak to the DMV in your area for more information.
