My insurance company doesn't seem to care too terribly much that my car is a salvage title if I go by what they're charging me. The salvage status was due to a collision over 10 years ago, and the car went to auction as a repairable collision, which apparently puts things in salvage status. The car was repaired and driven for 4 years after that, sat for 5 more, and then it became mine. I haven't had any handling issues that I can really note. I autocrossed it a half dozen times last year with no issues. I think it really depends on why the car was given its salvage status. If it's for something like flood/rain damage, that's risky, and I wouldn't touch it.

EDIT: I should also mention that my insurance company happened to be the same one that totaled and auctioned the car when it got damaged years ago, so that was pretty reassuring. Still, what it really comes down to is whether the place that bought it did the repairs right.
