Salvage titles are not necessarily a bad thing. If you are buying the car as a collectable than no but if the damage is limited and the repairs are done correctly than I don't see a problem. Some states issue a salvage when the car is brand new and a certain percentage of the replacement value is the repair cost. I have owned salvage title cars and had no problems with them.

Lol. This couldn't be more wrong. Every car I have driven has been salvage titles. I have an '05 evo and a '07 tiburon both with full coverage. You buy the car for less and you will sell the car for less. You never lose any money. I would def look it over good and test drive it, but other than that i would say your golden. on salvage titles.

seems like it would be the other way around, with all the stress you put on a race car you want a car as strong as possible, but i guess its no problem with cage and stuff since alot of ppl are giving that answer

I bought a rebuilt titled evo, it was stolen down in cali and stripped. they took the wheels, tires, hood, front bumper, steats and some interior stuff. the guy i got it from bought it off of co-part, put all oem parts back on it and had it painted and i picked it up with 39k miles for 11.8k. runs great has some tasteful mods and drives good.
My rx7 is also a rebuilt title from theft in oregon..
