Default Should I trade for a rebuilt 06'?


Hey guys, I need a little feedback here. I have an 03' GT premium w/ 75K miles. A local dealer wants to sell me a 2006 GT w. 4K milesfor $18,000. The only catch is that the car has a rebuilt title. He seemed upfront that is had been wrecked, but it seemed to drive good. Is this a good deal, or should I pass on this one? How hard will it be to resell a car with a rebuilt title later on? Thanks for any help. Click on the link below to see the car I am talking about.

Buy it, then when you get read to sell it, register it in another state. Get rid of the Rebuilt title then sell it.... BTW this is illigal! But I wont be buying a car from you anytime soon!

You could get a clean Mach1 for that price.

Keep in mind, it'll never be worth squat on a trade in and selling it will be a huge pain in the ***.

If neither of those things concern you, take it for a couple test drives, beat the living snot out of it. Look for odd noises, strange vibrations ETC. Talk him down a couple grand too.

steer clear of a rebuilt title. it shows up everywhere. more than likely you will have alignment problems. i would go with a mach 1 or 99 01 cobra
