honestly having a salvage title isnt that big of a deal as long as everything works right, honestly if your looking for a cheap way to get into a vehicle, who is going to know?

While I would never buy anything with a salvage title I can say that I have seen vehicles with salvage titles that were very nice and the owners had zero issues with them. To me the main problem with a salvage title is the uncertainty of what has been fixed exactly, quality of the work performed, lack of banks that finance salvage titles and the ability to re-sell the car is lowered dramatically when a potential buyer sees salvage on the title.

^ +1. I can see doing it MAYBE if you know the person who did the work, history of their work, etc etc. Personally whenever I find out a car is salvaged I do a 180 and keep looking. Resale most definitely will not be easy either. I'm not saying all are the same deal but it just seems like a headache waiting to happen.
