it could fall apart the next day, literally. you can get a clean car, clean title for less than 4.9k

i got mine with a salvage title for 3000. its fine. but thats because the guy who wrecked it was a tech at a ford dealer so he got all the parts to redo it.

you never know what could be wrong with a car with a salvage title. i would definatly talk him down

depends on what kinda damage was done to the car? get a carfax make sure its not a flood car!!! a wreck on a car that old could constitute a salvage title if the repair cost was high enough! ex light hit on the frontend new fender hood and bumper cover+paint could salvage a 91!! what is the book value?
