The best thing to do when buying a used car is to run a Carfax or, if the car is titled to the state you live in call the DMV with the VIN or title number. There are ways to hide a salvage title from state to state so do the legwork! If you still like the car and are pretty sure it has a salvage title it may still be an ok car, especially if it's older since it doesn't take much more than cosmetic damage to total an older car. Just have a good pre-purchase inspection and don't pay more than 60% of the value of a comparable car with a clean title.

If a salvage yard owns a car is the title considered salvage?

Depends on the existing title, if the salvage company owns the vehicle and it does not have a salvage title then they would be just another owner like anyone else and this vehicle would have a clean title assuming that there are no lean holders. On the other hand if the vehicle in question has already received a salvage/non repairable or similar title then salvage/non repairable or similar title would follow the vehicle not a clean title.

I bought a car with a clean title then when I went to get it registered they said they sent him a letter to tell him to send in the title to get it changed to salvage and he never did so what do I do?

If you want the car then you retitle it with a salvage title. If you don't want the car then you go back to the seller and explain that he defrauded you by not presenting you the proper 'salvage' title. If it's worth the time and hassle to you then you may need to contact an attorney and sue.
