Sad unicorn to be parted out

YouTuber Samcracc found this true unicorn (2006 White with black interior) at our local Copart in Tampa.

after watching his video, in the comments someone from Palm Beach bought it and plans to part it out.

Whoever owns it in west palm, I will literally drive to you and buy the radar, seats, ac vents on drive side and passenger, and a couple more stuff.

This place is a joke.
Great for parts, but a rebuilt title will make it not worth much.

doubt it would be worth high teens. I’d say rebuilt it would be like 14k

I think you're about right.

I paid a wee bit over 14 for my rebuilt title wagon, but when it was totalled it didnt even so much as dent any of the panels. Just front bumper and rear subframe.

it definitely can be fixed, but not much profit to be made on this one. Would be a keeper, not a flip.

Generally rebuilt titles are 50% the price of a clean. That’s from my research 2 years ago.

I’d highly doubt someone smart enough would spend 75% for a rebuilt wagon

Wagons are somewhat of a collectors car at this point, and a rebuilt title will impact the value even worse because of that.

they will become even more rare, it’s just a rebuilt wagon will never be as rare. It’s literally a totaled car made back to normal with non original parts it was made in
