I believe that this depends on the state/country in which the car is sold. Evidently in Kansas it is legal, as I was the customer that purchased one. The dealer did point out that the car had a new engine installed, but did not mention the salvage title until after the money had changed hands and the new paper work was finished. As far as the legalities, you should check the motor vehicle department, the county attorney, or your own attorney in your geographical location for local laws. I would consider the sale as very unethical, even if it is legal, and would never go back to this dealer again.
In many states dealers must disclose salvage vehicles. Did you run a Carfax? Call your state attorney general's office and find out what your legal options are since a salvage car is worth 40% less than a comparable clean titled car. If you had the car inspected (I hope you did) and it passed muster you can try and get a partial refund or threaten legal action.
If they are honest, they should.

If they sold you a salvage title car and did not inform you that it was a salvage car you may very well be able to get out of the deal. This may be considered fraud. I suggest you go to the selling dealer and ask for a refund and cancellation of the deal. If they refuse tell them you will take them to court. That may change their mind. If it does not seek legal advice from a lawyer as how to proceed.
what happens if you buy a car unaware of salvage title? well, if it was from a dealer you have recourse. if it's from a private seller, too bad...UNLESS they sold you the car with a clean title when they knew it was salvage. did you look at the title before you bought the car? if it was clearly branded as salvage or totaled you're out of luck but if it was a clean title when it actually wasn't you can try and get a refund from the seller or sue. If you sue you will have prove the seller knew the title was salvage at the time of sale. good luck!!
