Text

(a) As used in W.S. 31-2-106 through 31-2-112:
(i) "Flood vehicle" means any motor vehicle that has
been submerged in water to the point that rising water has
reached over the door sill and has entered into the passenger or
trunk compartment of the vehicle and the actual dollar amount of
the damage would not cause the vehicle to be titled as a salvage
vehicle. Disclosure that a motor vehicle has become a flood
vehicle shall be made at the time of transfer of ownership and
the next certificate of title issued after the transfer shall be
branded with the word "flood";
(ii) "Certificate of title, branded salvage" means a
motor vehicle ownership document issued in this state to the
owner of a salvage vehicle conspicuously branded with the word
"salvage" across the front of the certificate;
(iii) "Rebuilt title" means the certificate of title
issued in this state to the owner of a rebuilt salvage vehicle
conspicuously branded "rebuilt" across the front of the
certificate of title;
(iv) "Rebuilt salvage vehicle" means any motor
vehicle which was previously issued a certificate of title
branded "salvage" and has a decal stating "rebuilt salvage
vehicle" affixed as required by W.S. 31-2-108(d);
(v) "Salvage vehicle" means any motor vehicle which
has been wrecked, destroyed or damaged to the extent that it has
been declared a total loss by the insurance company or, in the
event an insurance company is not involved in the settlement of
the claim, the total estimated or actual cost of parts and labor
to rebuild or reconstruct the motor vehicle to its pre-accident
condition exceeds seventy-five percent (75%) of the actual
retail cash value of the motor vehicle, as set forth in the most
current edition of any nationally recognized automotive
appraisal guide or other source approved by the Wyoming
insurance department. The value of repair parts for purposes of
this paragraph shall be determined by using the current cost of
the repair parts to be used in the repair. The labor cost of
repairs for purposes of this paragraph shall be computed by
using the hourly labor rate and time allocations that are
reasonable and customary in the automobile repair industry in
the community where the repairs are to be performed;
(vi) "Junk vehicle certificate of title" means the
certificate of title issued in this state pursuant to W.S.
31-2-111 conspicuously branded "junk" across the front of the
certificate of title;
(vii) "Glider kit vehicle" means every large truck
manufactured from a kit manufactured by a manufacturer of large
trucks that consists of a frame, a cab complete with wiring and
instruments, fenders, hood and front axles, and consists of one
(1) or more additional major components including an engine,
