Depends on how bad the damage is. If it's a salvage title it was totaled for a reason. Front end damage as in fascia and fenders, suspension or actual front structural damage? May not be worth it.

I would not touch it. If its written off the damage is more than the cost to repair. a salvage title will be with the car permanently and effect it retail value and ability to sell,

even after its repaired, you will need a tech with special certification to pass the car to register it for the road. a general mechanic cannot do this. if your comfortable with that...go for it.

No, it would not be a good idea and the cost of repair would be enough to justify buying a decent used one.
