Salvage titles are ok, just a few precautions...

The first is, if it's legal in your state to be repurchased by you. I think some vehicles with an Alabama salvage title, can not be titled in GA without being reinspected, and brought up to GA standards, so you could end up with extra expenses to re-do things perhaps.

The next is, when you go to sell it years later to the next guy, what do you think he'll do? Answer: he'll think the same thing you do, should I buy a car with a salvage title. Solution: the only way to sell them, is if they cost a lot less than ones with regular titles. Go in the front door, but look for the back door.

Last is, just so you know, cars with a salvage title are typically ones that have had some serious damage. The damage might have been repaired, but the car has likely lost the structural integrity it had from the factory. Said another way, if you're in a car crash with it, it might not perform or hold up like it should; it could get crunched more than it was designed to.

Bottom line, I've had several salvage title cars, they're fine, so long as you get them low enough to get out of them later. Usually, if you have a car that is $10,000 normally, and another one (in nice shape) has a salvage title for $8,000, the price makes the choice a toss up, which is good, as a lot of people will buy the $8 car, ie, you can at least resell it later. Anything less than that $8k is an even better deal of course.

Good luck.
