No one mentioned this but one other thing to consider is whether your buying cash or financing. No lender will let you borrow for a restored salvage car, you have to buy cash.

Exactly. The only way to get a loan would be a personal loan. I had a salvage car and the guy I sold it to had to pay cash Bc the bank wouldn’t give him an auto loan. My car was nothing but a headache and I walked to school more than I drove lol . Couldn’t tell from looking at it but as I took it apart, parts of the car was poorly repaired. Would never do it again.

Salvage titles are exaggerated. I've been working on cars my entire life so far.
For example: My 440i was damaged in the right front. No metal damage whatsoever. Front bumper and two ancillary plastic bits were cracked. Front headlight had a small crack in the plastic (fully operative, but they add it to the estimate regardless, and a full headlight assembly is $3k). A few scratches alongside the passenger side of the vehicle. They likely "totaled" the vehicle with an estimate of (at-least) $12k. Including parts, work done by myself, and a high quality body shop, the car is mint and it didn't cost me a penny over $4,000 in repairs. I would be cautious and try to find pictures/history, but you shouldn't be scared away. Xx

They lease so cheap. Then people find out they are not the best DD* and move on. My option of course.
*BMW removed confort features in the name of weight. Which was silly. Cause the weight saved was negligible.
