Ad says rebuilt

It's priced pretty low assumably because of the title. What's the markdown you'd apply to a rebuilt title car vs a similar example with a clean title? Or is it just "hell no!" at any price?

I've always had that debate myself, my RSX was a rebuild when I bought it but price was just too good to pass up, did my research on what exactly happened and went from there. As long as it's done by a reputable shop and there isn't anything major (motor, tranny, frame) damage I feel like there is a good price for any rebuild

I dont think i would be able to compromise safety just to save a few thousand bucks. Unless the owner can show me that all repairs were done properly/frame wasnt damaged, then I would consider the deal.

I"m in this internal debate right now, I've always only driven clean title cars. Considering that all I'm looking for is a decent winter beater, I'm looking at a couple of cars that have rebuild titles. Have asked the owners for all info they have on the incident that caused the rebuild and look at it the same way buczracecars does. If it was theft or cosmetic damage that resulted in a branded title, I'd consider the car as long as the price truly reflects the decreased value of the branded title. As long as the thing was fixed properly, the words on the title are only meaningful when it comes time to sell. If the hit that resulted in a branded title was last year on a 10 year old car, it wouldn't take too much damage to result in a write off, if it happened when the car was a year old, that's a different story.

Any rebuild car I was serious about would go into a trusted shop for a thorough PPI.

Tbh some people see rebuild as a cancer when in reality it really isn't that bad. Don't get me wrong, Yes there are rebuilt cars with major damage which you will be able to tell right away that something is not right but from my experience with rebuilt vehicles you just gotta see the quality of the work. Most rebuilt cars don't have a lot of damage to be branded as rebuilt imo. I've bought a few cars in the past with very minor damage. Literally spent $1.5-$2k to fix (parts and labor) and basically gotten myself a decent car for a decent price. Don't let the tittle discourage you. Just look closely, test drive and look up the common issues with the car. I would also ask the seller for pics of the damage if possible or if they know where the damage was so you can inspect the area more carefully.

lol, looking closely won't cut it with rebuilt cars. If you are buying a rebuilt car, you better have it jacked up and thoroughly inspected by a your trusted/reputable shop.

theres so many variables to consider with a rebuilt car. they are all different. use your judgement based on the information you can gather. the only rule that applies to all rebuilds that they are much harder to sell and will require a significant discount. you will probably also have to deal with stupider and more annoying people when you sell.

Agreed, no matter what price you resell it at your buyer will always start with "well....it is a rebuild...." NO SHIT, the ad said that.

I do believe you've just indirectly called me stupid and annoying.....

What he means is that when you're selling a car with a rebuilt title you're going to be dealing with lots of people who do not know jack shit and just want a deal. They're going to lowball you just because it's rebuilt and do not care what kind of accident it's been in.

Frankly I haven't seen a rebuilt car that is a good enough value to offset the fact that ICBC deemed it not worth repairing, yet someone has "repaired" it and is now selling it.

I'm sorry but the "replaced fender, bumper, and hood that was the only damage" but rebuilt title? Fuck off.

My bad I totally miss it going thru the ad. But yea a rebuilt 2015 is not good news.

I'd never buy a car with an engine bay that looks like that

:heckno:

Don't think it's a good deal. It's a fair market price. And s for the engine bay it's just got a mess up valve cover can easily be clean up.

I'd be more worried about that rear bumper than a flaking VC

I remember last year there was a rebuilt FRS for sale for 13k with 5k km. Rebuilt or not that was almost half the price of what the market was selling for. At some point it should be worth it, is it not? Also the main problem with frame damage is safety?

"condition: new"

If new...why is it not in the box? :heckno:

Interesting how it is 1998 but the front and rear bumper are from the 94-97 gen...
