R-Title Series Blue.

Hi all. Seeking some information or advice on a prospect purchase. About three hours away from me there is this 15' Series Blue BRZ with 45,000 Miles. Unfortunately, this car was hit in the front passenger and was totaled and then repaired by a Subaru dealer near the owner. Where I live here in VA once a car is already titled as a rebuilt the process of registering it is as simple as registering a clean title car. (has to be inspected by a state ref to be deemed drivable again to be issued a rebuilt title)

His original asking price was $15,000 which was insanely overpriced in my opinion, however, I did get him down to $12,000 keeping all of the modifications which I'll list now.

Rev9 Coilovers
AEM Cold air intake
Carbing front strut bar
Gas type Hood Shocks
1in. Mishimoto Wheel Spacer
UEL Open Flash Headers
Greddy REvolution RS exhaust
+ All of the oem parts and STI complete lip kit + wheels.

My current daily driver is a 2013 FRS A/T with about 82,000 miles on it. New in box I have Broadway static coilovers, Rays 57cr's, OFT, etc. Enough parts to swap over to that BRZ where once I sell all of the parts on it I'd honestly break-even or slightly profit jumping over to the BRZ and gain a newer, more premium car with half the mileage in manual.

Do any of you have experience buying rebuilt? Things to look for? I'm going to attach a bunch of photos of the vehicle. I plan on taking it to a local Subaru dealership for a PPI.
