Thinking of buying a salvage/rebuilt title car? Watch this video

I bought many rebuilt title cars throughout the years, and have seen many bad and great examples. Here are some of the tips I have purchasing a rebuilt title cars. I skipped through some of the information because the video turned out over 30 minutes long.

Excellent Video my man. Great info. My only disagreement is at the end of the video you say a car can sit for 2-3 years and could be good because of low miles, however a car sitting that long is not good as it will dry up. Water pump, oil, If you have the knowledge to determine if a car is in okay shape sitting that long, then I would agree but most don't.

Super informative video. You have convinced me to be open minded when considering my next car purchase.

I am grateful for this video. I learned valuable lessons watching this video. I came on YouTube because somebody has a Toyota Camry with a rebuilt title and I told them I had no knowledge or understanding about rebuilt titles. I would check out a little longer all used vehicles if I was to buy one. Thanks so very much for sharing helpful information via YouTube. God bless you for informing people valuable information.

And now I'm convinced my wife is cheating. Those walls are overworked

sometimes a rebuilt can have lot of new parts!

Very good information, more than other salvage videos I’ve seen so far. Thanks!

[robertelescouflair]

Great video! Do you find it more expensive to insurance a rebuilt car?

[kirtlamb]

My thing was to stay away from types of damage that effects alignment. You just want the car to run straight.

I want to buy a 2013-2015 FRS/BRZ either clean or salvage title (most likely salvage) anything in particular I should look out for??

[chilrf]

Does the insurance goes up ? do I have to inspect the vehicle again every year? if buy a rebuilt title?

[cellblockfour]

In-depth and shows example to spot, this will greatly help me when checking out this rebuilt car. Thank you!

Thanks for explaining what rebuilt title actually means and that it is not a death sentence.

Very good video William...I would like to request if you would talk about the registration process of auction salvage cars. If you would please take a look at my situation when given a chance....I'm glad I found this video....I got a car at an auction...Salvage title, runs and drives and it was only very minimal work needed done to get it at it's best condition...cost of a full maintenance service....and lots of elbow grease...labor of love was free as I did everything. To register the car, according to DMV on line base on cars VIN #...I was really surprised and couldn't believe the cost $1098 !!! Are you kidding me ? $1098 ? for a Silver 2003 Mini Cooper Base Hatchback 1.6L
Is this for real ? William, this is quite an expensive learning curve for me. I felt like I was taken advantage off by the auction place...they knew I was new at this. I feel like sueing them. There was no red flag or a note of caution like for example "If you plan on running this car...call us first" Or "For Parts Only" Who really checks VIN #'s ? They should have a designated VIN number checker in all the cars they auction off and any possible questionable information issues that the car has should be noted before auctioning off to all would be bidders Do you think I have a case ? Anyway, Is there any way around it ? For the cost of the registration to go down ? Please let me know ...I would really appreciate it Thank you, John

found a really clean evo x gsr 2011 with 45k miles, went and saw it today. makes good power (415) has bilstein suspension and many other good parts. Absolutely love it, but am reluctant about the rebuilt title. A/C doesn't work either, owner told me he has a stack of docs from the accident of 1st owner, he's driven it for 10k miles... wants 24k with wheels (TE37SLs), im not sure what to do.

My Brz should of had a rebuilt title, Rear ended and the damage was 17k Never ended up on the carfax or anything. Clean title :o

I’m looking at a 2018 WRX STi Impreza for $23k. It was totaled in an accident but fully rebuilt and fixed. It had 2 minion accidents prior to the total’d accident. The man says it was fully rebuilt and fixed and runs amazing and is only trying to get rid of it because he can’t afford it anymore.

Somebody told me to stay away from rebuilt vehicles because they “make it just pass the inspections by the minimum standards” so i don’t know anymore.
