i wouldnt... Once a car is wrecked the metal obviously bends. No matter how you straighten the frame, the metal will still have the memory of the creases. It can never be as structurally sound as it once was. Due to these creases being 'memorized' by the metal if anything happens to the car in terms of an accident again, the metal is going to bend in the exact same spots because that is where it is weakest. And guess what? The metal is going to give a lot faster into these positions with VERY little energy absorbtion. And thats assuming the car was fixed correctly! Aluminum cars are a bitch to get repaired (ive had a hell of a time trying to find a body shop to take my moms audi A8 into) If the frame isnt straight the car could drive horribly, there could be glass in the climate system, amongst a slew of other problems. So i would say do not buy a car with a salvage title.
