Anybody ever buy a truck with a salvage title?
Looking at a 2017 Cummins/Aisin, has salvage title due to rebuild after front end collision. Price is $10k below market. Supposedly inspected by a company called BlueStar.

Not necessarily a problem. And some (not newer like the one you're looking at) get totaled for a fender bender with airbag deployment. Even though the vehicle isn't structurally damaged at all.
In your case, it may be a great buy. However I would be more wary of a total from front end damage than other types of damage/incidents. Floods and front end damage are the 2 types of rebuilt I would not really consider readily.
I bought a Yukon, rebuilt, back in the day. Saw pictures. Was a soft rollover. Didn't bend any of the pillars and only blew out 1 window. And a bunch of bumps and bruises.
Was a good deal. If the cab had been smashed, no deal.
Didn't have trouble selling it either, just had to price the same consideration as I bought it for.
