http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/car/272025963.html thinking about picking it up gunna bring a mechanic over there to look at it because it has a rebuilt title but the guy sais everythings mechanically sound on it so what do you guys think on this deal also wil it be hard to get a car with a rebuilt title insured

 

That looks damn nice! Look it over and give it a test drive. A test drive can tell you a lot. Ask the owner if you can have it checked out by your mecahnic. Good luck.

 

run a carfax for sure. find out why it has a rebuilt title. That means the resale usually suffers greatly. Since mustangs are a uni-body, one wreck can tweak the whole care

 

That's a big 10-4! I forgot about CarFax reports. They offered the report when I bought mine; if they don't it's definitely a good idea to get one yourself. What is a re-build title? I don't think we have anything like that out here in Nevada. We do have Salvage Titles though. I would go to your DMV website and find out what is invlolved in a Re-Build Title. You may find a lot of answers that way.

 

yea a rebuilt title is a car that was written off by an insurance company as totaled and a rebuilt title means someone rebuilt it

 

In my state (Pa.), a rebuilt title is called a salvage title. The car has either been wrecked, or has been under water. If the car has been properly rebuilt from being wrecked, they can be ok. A flood damaged car on the other hand, will probably give you trouble the rest of its life no matter how good it looks. Also usually when you buy a car with a rebuilt/salvage title, you will have a hard time selling it later down the line, A lot of folks try to title these kind of cars in different states in an attemp to "wash the title"- that means for example: if you have a Pa salvage title for a particular car, you title it in Nj.. & then a couple of months later, you re-title it in Pa. It comes back to Pa. as a used car, not a salvaged car. It can then be sold as a regular used car. You have to wonder how many hurricane Katrina cars have had their titles shuffled around in this manner

 

Yeap, great looking Stang. Just doble check everything like the folks above said.

 

You should call & ask your insurance company if they're gonna get squeamish giving you insurance on a savlaged car.. BEFORE you go check the car out. Maybe even give the insurance agent the cars VIN & they can find out more info for you

 

I would test drive it and put it through the moves, test it under hard braking and see if it pulls one way or the other, test itout in a hard turn and under quick acceleration. Take it to an alignment shop also.

It's only $3,000.00! If it drives well and you can insure it you'll have a sweet ride reguardless of what kind of title it has! If you wait too long somebody else will be driving it!
