A restored salvage vehicle is worth about half of what a regular title vehicle is . And if you have an accident or it is stolen the insurance company will only pay about half of blue book . The reason the insurance company paid off the owner , and did not repair it is because it would cost more to repair than the vehicle is worth . As long as you understand all of that , you can make an educated decision . FYI ,and when you want to sell it most people don't want it or do not want to pay much for it . If none of that matters to you and you are paying cash and intend to keep it for a few years buy it cheap cross your fingers and enjoy .
