While Justin's last comment is in principle true, I would definitely look into what damage was done and how it was repaired. Someone flipping a salvage car is going to try to keep their costs reasonable to maximize return. I would be more concerned if there was significant structural damage as often the cars are never quite right. Also, if you live in the rust belt, be aware that factory paint is often better quality and holds up better to corrosion.
$15k is a fair bit of money even if it is vastly below the price of a comparable non-salvage vehicle, so you should do your due diligence.
