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.
