What if you bought a car and thought it had a clean title then found out it had a salvaged title?

Depends if the seller was fraudulent intentionally. Did he give you a clean title at the time of sale? If so, you may have some recourse if the car was totaled/salvaged under his/her name.
If you bought from a licensed dealer there MAY be some recourse if it was proven or known to be salvage when (s)he sold it to you. If it's a private party sale, cars are sold as-is unless you were given a false title knowingly - an old seller's trick when a car is totaled is to immediately apply for a lost title replacement. Now the seller has two clean titles in hand, just in case he needs to surrender one for insurance purposes when he receives a cash payout for a total but decides to keep the car. He can then fix it cheaply and sell it for a good profit since he has another clean title in hand. If (s)he presented you a clean title at time of sale this is also known as FRAUD, so you can can pursue legal action or demand a refund but it's gonna require time and effort to prove. Good luck!
Before you buy a used car always submit the VIN to the state DMV to make sure the title is clean and NEVER buy a car that is not currently titled to the state you live in (there are ways to "titlewash" cars from state to state). Doing a Carfax is a good idea, too! It's always 'buyer beware' when you buy a used car and you may have gotten taken.

Usually the title will have to be filed "lost" or "salvaged" and then updated to yourself afterwards. Each state in the union has their own outrageous price to do so.
