Walk away. Hard to resell. Insurance companies don't like them.

Yeah, unless it was my vehicle that the insurance sold back to me after a crash, I would steer clear.  One of our neighbors does this, buys them from the insurance company, pounds on them in his driveway for a while, hits the junkyard for parts, puts a new coat of paint on them and then sells them for not too much less than a clean title.

That's if you're lucky, just imagine the fun of owning a hurricane vehicle.  They ship them well out of the area so people aren't thinking about the possibility the car was under sewage tainted salt water for a time.

depends who rebuilt it. My dad has rebuilt several rigs over the years. But he's had a successful collision repair facility in Walla Walla for 40 years. I drove an '02 Grand Prix he found for me and rebuilt for many years. good car.  It had taken a small airborne trip into a wheat field and through a barbed wire fence. straightened it up and a few new parts and i had a nice car for a lot less than a non-rebuilt. traded it in on the pickup i have now. dealer never batted an eye at the rebuilt factor, but i know used car dealers don't often lose money on a deal...  :chuckle:

Another thing, If you don't know who fixed it, or what the damage was, it could be a safety issue. Think about structural damage that wasn't repaired correctly. You could end up in a somewhat minor collision and it folds up like a pop can.
