how can i tell? is it written on the title itself?

 

carfax the VIN#. it will tell you everything wrong with it, if there is anything.

 

where do i go do a carfax?

 

http://www.carfax.com

 

thx. free right?

 

It's not free.

It should be on the title also.

 

oh ok. thanku

 

carfax isn't the best of way finding out the title type. a car can have a salvage history and a clean title. the best way is to just look at the title. it says either like "idaho state title", or "idaho repaired title", or whatever else it would be.
