Would you buy a truck with a salvage title?

(no message)

Yes.

yes but run a history report to see why it's salvage. Generally you want to pay no more than 60% of the cost you would if it was a good title and 10k is likely what that truck is not salvage. Most likely it was a wreck that an insurance company has totaled out, but some second hand body shop bot at auction and repaired it. A lot of those guys do real good repairs. Main thing to be concerned with is a weak frame, which may have been re-welded or straightened already, or a flood car. Get under it and look at it real close.

No.

No. Salvage titles have frame damage 99% of the time, and frame damaged cars are unsafe in wrecks and have all sorts of drivetrain issues.

Salvage or reconstructed?

And no I wouldn't unless it was going to be a field/hunting truck.

I wouldn't. BUT we just sold a truck that was totaled by the insurance company and all that was done to it was the electronics and seats being stolen. So mechanically it was great, and we put brand new power/heated seats in and a stock stereo. Sold it for $15k where without a salvage title we could have easily gotten $22k or so.

Not all of them are bad, but most are

Yes, but only after being checked out by an independent source. A good mechanic can help you. Worth spending $100 for an inspection.

Salvage titles are an absolute headache to deal with.

Not for a primary vehicle ,but for a second hand/camp/farm/off road vehicle than sure.
