Then, I have had a salvage car that had far less damage...crunched front bumper cover and left fender. This car, while carrying a salvage title, actually had LESS DAMAGE than some of my clean title cars.

Basically, salvage cars need to be bought on a case by case basis. Some are more wrecked than others....
