I've been looking at used Tundra's and a surprising number of them on Craigslist or FB Marketplace have salvage titles. The sellers typically state that damage was minor, fender replaced, no frame damage, etc. In my head it's hard to reconcile a 25-30K truck being salvaged due to minor damage. I'm under the impression if repair value exceeds vehicle value and it is deemed a total loss/salvage. What am I missing? Would you purchase such a vehicle with an inspection? I'm in CA if that helps.

Thanks!
