What are the cons to a salvaged title if the 914 is in running condition with very minimal rust?

I have had a few salvadged title vehicles. As stated the lower resale is one of the biggest. Still that also means you may get a nicer car for less. MY 74 LE has a salvadged title. Sucks as it had no major damage. One fender was basically torn from the top of the turn signal to just above the front wheel midway. Obviously they clipped something. Sure as hell did not warrant salvadging the car. Still many cars get "totalled" by insurance companies that should not be. Pretty easy fix & inexpensive with the right friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .
