Only if I was absolutely certain of the history of the bike's salvage. Otherwise, you never know what happened to the bike to get that title. The seller could flat out lie.

If its stolen(just for parts) and no frame damage, i would get a salvage bike. But like marmalade said, they can flat out lie.
