As far as I know this means the car has been written off by an insurance company.
It doesn't mean the car was in a bad accident either. Insurance companies write cars off even if they've been somewhat vandalized but overall but what an enthusiast would consider minor. Say the interior was sliced up.
Salvage title cars are great for parts but to put one back on the road you'll always have to deal in the fact it was once a write off so the value will be lower IMO.
Hope that helps
