i wouldn't trust a reconstructed car, especially this specific brz. pretty sure many things are bent out of alignment.

Hondas are notorious for leaky trunks as it is. My integra leaked and it has never been wrecked. My parents have a 97 accord that's been rear ended twice and it has no leaking issues.
I would never buy a car with a rebuilt title. Some insurance companies won't even cover them and since you dont know the extend of the damage or the repair, you really don't know what you're getting yourself into. I was under the understanding that a rebuilt title means that the vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance company (which generally means damage is above 70% cost of vehicle) so we're talking extensive. Just spend the extra $5k and buy a new one. Or wait a year and buy a used one when the prices come down.
Does anyone know if Toyota will warranty a vehicle with a salvaged title??
