Asking $3900
Also, as I understand, the difference between 'Rebuilt' and 'Salvage' titles is that the Salvage title was totaled at one time and the 'Rebuilt' title was rebuilt and may or may not have been totaled at one time or another?
Thanks
I am not an expert at it, but one word of advice, if later down the road there's any major recall(warranty work) then dealerships won't cover salvage/rebuilt title vehicles for that, so please verify and have some 'written proof' form this dealership about it. Good Luck.
Thanks for the advice, however one question... If dealerships don't cover warranties or recalls on rebuilt title vehicles then what good is any written proof? And are you suggesting I get written proof of the damages that caused the rebuilt title?
What I meant is, "IF" there's any warranty/recall work come in the future, have a written proof from them. Because, if they say now when you are buying that they'll cover it, then they should cover down the road too. Not sure if written proof of damage would be helpful in anyway, but won't hurt to get that too. Good Luck.
Thanks, I will keep that in mind. However, I don't think it would still have any warranty at 90,000 miles, but that is good information to know for the recalls.
