Many cars in Oregon are for sale with "Salvage Title". What does this mean? Can I drive it, license it, insure it?
A salvage title means the car was damaged beyond what it’s worth. it would cost too much to fix. That means even though it was rebuilt to run again, it will never run the same. You’ll have problems all the while you own it. And not just minor things. You could have engine, transmission, steering and suspension problems forever. And you’ll have a very hard time selling it because most people won’t go near a salvaged car.
And you should check with your insurance company because most of them now won’t cover salvaged cars anymore. There’s far too much liability with them and they don’t need the headache and ulcers they cause.
