Is this car worth it?
I wanted to buy this car for my dad and as you can see it's a rebuilt title. The guy said it was involved in a light accident.
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/4999668640.html He also send me this pictures of when he purchased it from the insurance company. What's bothering me is why there is no back emblem and no tail lights on the car. He told me they were inside the car and he put them on himself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would look up the carfax if that explains it...but if you're getting this car for a long time and believe you won't be selling in anytime soon - I'd say go for it (idk if the price is right, but for a 2k mile car it's pretty good). Also, haggle a bit more off of it if you decide to get it.
Get a mechanic to look at it as well.

Look at it this way. The insurance company (one of the least generous institutions on earth) didn't think it was worth fixing there may be a lot more wrong with it than you are being told. Cars do not get totalled from a "light accident".
