A salvage history (aka: rebuilt title) car is worth generally 50-60% of the value of a similarly equipped, non salvage/rebuilt vehicle. That is pretty much the bottom line with any and all insurance estimate of value, and as you might find, some insurance companies will not write a policy on a "salvage title" vehicle. If it has a "rebuilt title", then it has already been through that states secondary inspection process, and found to have been repaired properly. If it still has a "salvage title", I'd not touch it with a 100 foot (polished brass ) pole
