Sure, if you're a mechanic and know everything to look for before purchasing and how to fix the bad stuff. Sure.

Possibly if it is done right. Get your Mechanic to give it a top to bottom inspect, if you are seriously considering it. But wouldn't recommend.

Long as the frame is straight and it wasn't in a flood I don't see why not. Of course you should get it looked over first.

Any Rebuilt/Salvage or even Theft Recovered titled will boost up your insurance rate! Not worth it, unless it's a project car...
But if not, you're only spending more money on the car, and when you do plan to sell it, you'll lose out on so much!

Its hit and miss with this. If there are repairs to the frame dont do it for sure.
