The whole idea of "salvage" title strikes me as being pointless. What
does it prove?

Here in NZ there's no such thing; a vehicle can be deregistered for
any number of reasons, even just being taken off the road to save
rego costs (most people aren't aware that they can put rego on holf
for free). I have bought vehicles from wreckers and put them back on
the road. The only indication of this in the vehicle's history is the
rego plate number not matching the vehicle's date of manufacture. But
so what? If it's free title, what use would a salvage title be?
