A friend of mine is a car dealer, and I have bought a couple "salvage" and "damaged" vehicles from him. They are fine if you're going to keep it and drive it with liability ins. Most companies won't give you anything more than that. As far as value goes, if it says "salvage" you can take the current market value and cut it in HALF! One that is only "damaged" you can take 25-50 percent off. Hope that helps.
