Can you give a clear definition of what "salvage title" means? Also, should a salvage title always deter a buyer from purchasing a car?

I have never bought or owned a salvaged vehicle but I know countless people who are confused on the subject. The word alone almost seems taboo. Aren't there many things that can title a car as "salvaged" (not even necessarily title the car but being obligated to "list" the car as salvaged?) maybe I have the two mixed up...

How do mods come into play (aftermarket bumpers for simplicity sake)? Would I need a receipt from the date of the transaction that I bought the mods? Comps aren't enough, correct?

I have seen each come up on here and other forums with answers pulled from the posters ass, or, "guesses" as you put it.
