This appears to be a "Rebuilt Salvage Title" which means it was "totaled" by an insurance company and then rebuilt.

Wonder how it drives or what it looks like before the repair, who knows where the accident on this thing was.

better off just buying a new one from the dealer

Rebuilt/Salvage title with no factory warranty due to a 'minor' insurance claim. I LOVE how it has to be qualified with the word 'minor', it's like saying that I had to get facial reconstructive surgery due to a minor disagreement with a lion at a safari park. Also... suspiciously low mileage and no pictures of the underside, engine bay or anything other than exterior shots. All of this and priced only about, what... $5000 - $6000 less than a brand new one?

Hahahahaha

"Rebuilt" is a branded title which in most states is different than a salvage title. My last car had a rebuilt title due to it being a theft recovery that the insurance company paid off before the car was recovered. It didn't have any damage to it at all and I never had any issues with it. I would recommend having a professional inspection done prior to purchasing a vehicle with a rebuilt title.

Hail damage? That would be a salvage vehicle I was all over!

Don't risk it, in the end the problems that come up might cost more than the new car itself. Just my 2 cents lol

When they use the word "minor" in the ad, it's a red flag...
