A good example of a salvage car is the car has been in a serious accident, which the insurance decided the repair cost is higher than the car value, so they pay the owner the current value, and then take the car. After that, they may sell it to junk yard (wreckers) or auction it at a low value. During this process, the word salvage will be added to the car title.
A mechanic (or a shop) may purchase the car, use the parts, or fix the whole car and sell it again. Normally salvage title car's value is ~1/3 or 1/2 of the regular one (maybe less).
The main problem is you don't know what was fixed and what was not. Since the car maybe in a serious accident, there maybe a structural damage. Some salvaged cars may had flood damage and have internal rust.
I will avoid salvaged cars at all costs since I had one before and it costed me nothing but troubles.
Whether a person want to purcahse rebuilt cars or not, it is their choice. However, like I said, rebuilt/salvage cars tend to have hidden problems, like structure damage. Also, unless the technician is really good, otherwise, the repair may not be the same as factory standard.
If you ask around, how many mechanics will actually use factory parts to restore a rebuilt/salvage cars? Using cheaper parts from Canadian Tires will definitely give them bigger profts, right?

同样的价格当然不用说不买 rebuilt cars 了，但是有些时候，举例，上图的suzuki，假如没有 rebuilt过的20000元，上图的18000元，可能想法就不一样。因为车这个东西不是相伴你一生的东西，开几年也就换了，像照片上的车修回去后如果ICBC没有记录，可能开到自己卖掉都不知道。其实买车很多时候是一个心理作用，觉得车修过了就浑身不舒服。有点类似几十年前在中国娶老婆一定要黄花闺女一样。到现在哪里还有可能。
