Do not buy any salvage title vehicle unless:
1) You have the knowledge/training/experience to evaluate the vehicle and make a good estimate of what repairs will cost and how much it will be worth when you are finished. 2) You have the knowledge and resources to repair the vehicle yourself. There will likely be lots of "little" problems that crop up that will nickle and dime you to death. Farming out repairs will run the bill up in a hurry.

As many have said, there is no money to be saved in buying a salvaged title car, but there is plenty of money to be lost. This is usually a head ache as a buyer & a nightmare as a seller. Unless you are going to track & just beat the snot out of it then part it out, or part it out first avoid buying it.

That pretty well sums it up. IF you get lucky, you can save a little money. More than likely, you'll lose you butt.
