I'd like to buy a car. Is a salvage title a bad thing?
Repaired cars are not necessarily bad cars. WHY a car has a salvage brand is important; the term is vague. Collision damage may brand a 2006 Taurus "salvage," while the same damage would be repaired on a 2021 Taurus without changing the brand. Hail damage can elicit a salvage brand, but hard collisions and light hail are not the same. Research the "why." Once you know that, a lot of money can be saved, and in truth, many of us already drive repaired vehicles; machines break, and they bump into things.
