Anybody ever buy a truck with a salvage title?

I think the biggest concern would be pesky electrical gremlins. My cousin hit a deer with his almost new 2017 f150 and was sure it would be totaled by the amount of damage. Even though the repair bill was huge, it didn't reach a certain percent of the replacement value so it was rebuilt. He was unhappy about it, but added a ford extended warranty and went on down the road. While he still owned the truck it was plagued with quirky but relatively minor electrical problems he assumes was a result of the accident. He subsequently traded it in because he never had the warm fuzzy feeling driving it again.

So while the price is tempting, it truly would be a gamble and the upfront savings will be given back when you sell it.
