If your insurance company knows it's a salvage title, they may decline coverage.

Regardless of the story, a salvage title erodes value significantly.
Some people will bite due to the stiff discount, but many will not buy the car regardless. I've bought a few, and have always met resistance when selling.

A salvage title car needs to be a really good deal for me to get interested in one....
