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.

Salvage title vehicles are like most questions "it depends"
Like said above it depends on the damage and who and how the repairs were done. It depends if you can absolutely know the facts of these questions.
If water is involved that's another whole can of worms.
I have avoided salvage vehicles and never bought one, mostly because every salvage vehicle has been associated with people who could not give "absolute positive proof of the damage and repair method" or did not care to share the facts.
There will be lots of people who bought and had absolutely no problems with their salvage vehicle, you will also probably hear about guys who do the rebuild and they are top quality vehicles when they are complete.
There are stories/shows on tv where they follow vehicles that have salvage/or should have salvage titles and most of those are horror stories.
I guess its one of those "you pays your money and take your chances"
Every salvage vehicle I've ever seen had small damage to the bed of the truck, or it was just a bent bumper, kind of like EVERY craiglist boat motor "starts on the first pull"
