Depends on what kind of salvage/reconstruction it was issued. Could have been a theft (no real harm, just get a PPI to make sure it wasn't hardcore chopped), flood (RUN), accident (PPI again, factor into price), or even hail damage. Moral of story: PPI. A salvage title doesn't necessarily mean a bad car, my 300E was a theft recovery salvage and its been fine.
