Just because carfax doesn't say there was an accident doesn't mean there wasn't one. Salvage title is always a big red flag and you should try to find out from DMV why the car has one. Some states have the reason right on the title.

You can try to call your insurance company and see what the implications are to getting insurance. Some companies won't insure salvage title cars at all and some require an inspection before they will. In any event, if you do buy a salvage title car keep in mind it is very hard to sell one and make sure the price is adjusted accordingly to make it worth your while.

Personally, I'd avoid a salvage title car unless it was free...or practically free.
