I drove a salvaged car for 150,000 miles with no issues. Bought it from a legitimate salvage specialist who offered a warranty, and in CA salvage titled cars are required to be inspected by the CHP.

However, please appreciate that most auto lenders have restrictions for lending on cars will salvaged titles (usually 50% of non-salvaged value); and you probably wont be able to find a third party to warranty the car.

Do your homework and due diligence, and if the price is right go for it.
