I agree. On older cars I don't think it matters to the same degree, seeing as you are not buying a $1200 car for it's resale value. That being said, if you do want to sell it at some point, it will always be a harder sell, and worth less. However, salvage titles mean it's time to really look hard at the car before you buy it. Assume it has no resale value, so it had better have been repaired well as you are going to be stuck with the thing.
