Sorry to ask this here..i didnt where else to post or ask....

How badly does the Salvage title affect the value?

a 1997 C36, 12,800 miles...salvage title to a hit on driver passenger side. assuming this car checks out ok with a complete mechanical and diagnostic test, what is it work? book value is about $37,500. Would you ever touch a car that has a salvage title? sometimes i hear that the car isnt really bad but its part of the games insurance companies play to get complete claims...is that true? thanks!
