Either way, any concerns can be addressed in a proper PPI if anyone has interest in the car. At the price its worth a look I think.
rebuild inspections vary by state.

checking for stolen parts is a federal requirement, beyond that many states require a safety inspection before you can title a salvage. best to get a vehicle history report, do your research, and only then pay for a PPI. I think ICBC has one of the more stringent inspection requirements though so id be most comfortable buying a vehicle that was rebuild locally.

that said one of my favorite vehicles ive ever owned was a rebuild and i ended up selling it for a profit.
