That's sort of misinformed. My car has a salvage title, and I've been making a point out of parking my salvage and non salvage cars next to each other and having skeptics choose, so far, no one has picked the 87 which has been hit on nearly every side. Also with a stack of service history, and a lot of maintenance "worthless" is a bold claim for a car.

I've seen salvage cars in better shape with straighter panels than one owner clear title cars. That said, I've seen salvage title cars literally held together with wood screws and tape, and cars with a dozen owners that looked like they'd be built yesterday. Value cars on a case to case basis, in person.

Worth less, probably, worthless, if it wasn't a worthless piece of **** to start with, probably not.
