All my cars I've ever owned are salvage cars. I pick them out myself though since I buy them crashed from the auction. Recently I bought a salvage title from Craigslist and it's been good however I did have a surprise with the alignment which I had to pay the shop $200 extra to correct.

If you've never bought salvage you will be skeptical but honestly to me it's not a big deal, and I also believe all the people discouraging you and making fun of you are idiots since they are likely buying from dealership's thinking they got their car for a steal, but they never consider how much money salesman make, how much it cost to run a dealership, and how much they are flipping the car for. They always win, or else they wouldn't exist.

Salvage cars are the best bang for your buck. If you can't test drive the car to make sure everything works good, than don't buy it. Also make sure whoever owns the car doesn't say "I bought it like that" because it allows them to say "I didn't know about that". If you buy a salvage make sure it's from the person who fixed it, or better yet, from the bodyshop that fixed it.

To all the idiots here saying you're going to have a bad time... I drive a 2013 Mercedes C250 AMG Package with every possible option... It's salvage title and I'm only 21 years old and everyone thinks I'm a baller.
