answer:Often times, salvage titles are given to vehicles that cost more than they are worth to repair, assuming they even really can be repaired. Often times a car with a Salvage title will have been involved in an accident that weakened the frame; even if “repaired”, it will not be as strong or safe as it once was. Even then, most places require a vehicle to be carefully inspected before upgrading the title to “Repaired Salvage” and allowing it to be registered. Also, be prepared to pay cash since banks rarely finance cars with salvage titles. They are a huge risk with negligible resale value, so don’t expect to be allowed to use the vehicle as collateral as is commonly done with auto loans. Lastly, fraud isn’t uncommon. It would be bad to have a crash and find out your airbags were replaced with stuffed newspaper.
