Huge hole is huge
Ick, run away. It has the potential to have serious issues in the coming months/years. Who knows what caused the Salvage Title, and who knows if they are going to tell you the truth :P
Personally, Salvage titles should 1/2 the price give or take.

I bought my 8 salvaged/rebuilt. This is still the best car I've owned so far. Not a single problem with it, and I got it for a steal with bonus mods.
Mine was accident though, not flood /water damage. I'd be more worried about a flood salvage.

I once bought a flood - fixed Accord... New engine and interior, i thought I'd be set forever... until I realized that moldy, mildewy smell everytime i Turned on the A/C would NEVER go away.... so it's up to you, you never know what you're gonna get...

to fix something like that u gotta make sure theres no water in there first, then u have to find the A/C inlet, then just spary the disinfectent thing in there and turn A/C to low and keep running it for 5-10 minutes (keep sparying) then shut it off and u should not get smells anymore
but still , I aint going to pay 14-15 K for a salvage title car.

Sometimes it's worth it if you get the car for $10k less, provided you check the history behind the salvage title. You could be surprised...
Personal preference at this point. I've seen both good and bad experiences with salvage. But if you get a good deal like I did and get it checked out, you just might have an extra 10k in your pocket and a great ride. No regrets on my salvage purchase.
Though for sure get it checked out, find out the reason for the salvage title, try to get pictures if you can, etc. Never touch water damage.
