Hey guys. Longtime lurker in here. Always learn something new in this thread.
General thoughts on rebuilt titles? First off, I'm 18 months or so from actually buying a substantial car (want to wait until I'm back in the states). I'm driving a 1993 525i here in Germany that I use for road trips. Daily public transport is pretty good and I'd rather wait to get something really nice. Still, I do searches in my probable price range (high 20s-low 30s) on Craigslist for fun. Just to see what pops up back home.
So this pops up today http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/5242789765.html
Let's say I'm interested. It's a rebuilt title of course. What's my plan of action here? What would you do? What are the things the average buyer fails to understand?

General thoughts on rebuilt titles:
- Older vehicles that are under 6 or 7 grand, I wouldn't really be too concerned about a rebuilt title.
- Newish cars with rebuilt titles,I'd want to see pictures of the damage before it was repaired if possible.
- If you buy a car with a rebuilt title, be prepared to be stuck with it for a while and/or be willing to take a loss on it when you decide to sell it. Your average buyer won't even consider a car with a rebuilt title, so it will be hard to sell later on.
Your plan of action would be to get it inspected by a mechanic you trust (the lexus dealership would be a good choice) to make sure the car was repaired properly. I'm not sure how writing off vehicles works where you are, but here a vehicle gets written off when the damage exceeds 50% of the cars value. That's an expensive car and is almost new, so it must have been in a significant accident with a fair amount of damage in order to have been written off. Make sure the repairs were done well!
Think long and hard about buying it, and make sure you're OK with the possibility of getting stuck with it, or losing a lot of money , when you decide to get something else.

Confusing because I see BMW grand coupes all the time. You would think Audi would respond. They've had that style for a few years now
True. I'd take the coupe over it

Cause that butt is ugly. They're doing us a favor. Don't really like "four door coupes". I'm cool with a coupe or traditional sedan.

It's the same 3.0 supercharged V6 offered in quite literally every Audi besides the R8
... For some reason they badge it as "3.0T"... I believe it's getting replaced this upcoming year with anan actual turbo 3.0...

Was watching Shift S3ctor's periscope today. Whewww the eargasms to be had from it.
Link if anyone's interested...There's a grey Evo there that holds the fastest time ever recorded on the 1/2mile strip. Not sure what it is but I think it starts with a 2.
