If the price reflects the title status, and you have proof of the work done to fix the car, I see no reason not to buy a salvage. Salvage is something to stay away from for two reasons- resale is bull****, and you dont necessarily know if the car was fixed properly. If you can buy it at that already deflated salvage price, then the only other issue is whether the car has been fixed properly. I bought a '91 Integra in '03 for $1000 with a salvage title. Wrecked it and resold it for $1500. It really depends why it was salvaged. Mine had been in a low speed front ender that bent the rad support. Not a huge deal in my eyes. I like to look for cars that were hit light enough to not do much damage, but hard enough to pop the airbags. Sometimes the airbags will go off when the collision was sub 15mph, and in that scenario you can really come out ahead. Popped airbags usually totals a vehicle, so if you can get a salvaged vehicle at 60percent of market value, and fix it for not much money, you can do alright. You just need to be VERY careful. Question everything, go over the car with a fine tooth comb.
