Rebuilt title means this is a salvage vehicle. If it was a flood vehicle, it could be in for some very expensive electrical repairs in the future. If it was a collision vehicle, was it properly repaired? Worst case, this might be bargain as a parts vehicle. In any case, I would ask for a detailed explanation of what the original damage to this vehicle was along with a detailed explanation of the repairs that were performed.

It looks to be a bargain as it's only half the price that BenzS55 thinks his year older, similar mileage, undocumented NYC branded title car is worth.

It was just a bit of sarcasm aimed at my buddy BenzS55 and his fanboys in his thread. If the car in the ad you posted is a fully functional properly rebuilt car and not a parts car, then $10-11k is probably about the right price for it.

BTW, BenzS55 has gone from post ***** to MIA. I wonder what happened to him?

Part is expensive on this vehicle, it's a good buy for someone that has knowledge and is able to turn wrench. Unlike older models, they need scanner and special tools to trouble shot even on minor issue.

I know, right? I'm getting a bit worried about him. I hope he didn't sell his car and just move on. He's had so much to offer to his fans.

If it is a flood vehicle it is worth zero.

Otherwise salvage vehicles generally command 1/3 to 1/2 less money

Ya, flood vehicles are junk. With collisions, you can see more precisely what the extent of the damage is. Even then they can fool ya.
