First of all 65K miles and 7K is a huge difference, second KBB does not apply as they do not have it right anymore, do to the recent sales of these low mileage crossfire srt-6s, and the fact that they already bottomed out in value and now are rising in value, people are getting 20K easily with around 20 thousand miles on them, all you have to do is look, there is a few sales on here in the near 20K range. In any case I am open to any reasonable offers by interested parties only, not looking to get into a debate over pricing with people that are not even interested in the vehicle. In any case a vehicle is only worth what someone is actually willing to pay for it, just like anything else and where one person sees value another might not, that's ok.

I will not argue with people about rebuilt titles, I deal with them all the time, and have an excellent understanding of value decrease and your 50% statement is not correct, even a newer vehicle that has been wrecked really bad after it is rebuilt correctly will still fetch 75% of its value, and I speak form experience, any vehicles that have NO damage on them, ie, theft, liquidation, estate sale, or other loss etc, as in NOT a wreck, your talking about a 10% decrease and that's a lot, furthermore if the vehicle is not near brand new, but 10 years or older, that difference is much smaller compared to a newer less then 3 year old vehicle, warranty being canceled do to branding has a lot to do with this too, bottom line is some people might not want to purchase a rebuilt title vehicle and that's fine, where some don't have a good understanding of the concept, others benefit. It all comes down to being knowledgeable enough to look at the vehicle yourself and be able to tell what has and hasn't been done to it, as is with any car purchase, considering you can have a practicaly completely rebuilt vehicle under an insurance claim, and if the insurance company fixes it for the owner that vehicle never gets a title brand, hell sometimes there is no report on carfax either and you can buy that off the street in worse condition then a rebuilt title vehicle.
