This loss can be a simple theft, actual accident damage, or hail, or liquidation, and the list goes on. Not all vehicles are actually physically damaged, some are in perfect shape, such as this one. Illinois is one of those states that does NOT allow a CLEAN title to be issued after the vehicle has been branded before, no matter what shape the vehicle is in, what proof or inspections you go through, what experts say otherwise, some other states do, I have no control over this process. I can only try to speculate but that's pointless without proof, bottom line is, no paintwork, no bodywork, no signs of any body or mechanical damage of any kind, and the vehicle has been in my possession for the last 2 years, 2K miles. There is no difference in my vehicle then the other few for sale right now with such super low mileage, I encourage anyone interested to take a look at the vehicle in person, and bring whatever expert you want to check it out, I am very close to O'hare airport in the suburbs of Chicago, and will gladly pick anyone up from there to come see the car. Other then the rebuilt title branding you will not be able to tell the difference between this vehicle and the other low mileage ones listed. In fact mine will stand out as one of the best condition ones out there. Period. The only difference is when you buy mine you'll get a better deal, due to the rebuilt title status, and that's why I am open to offers, if it wasn't for that I would not even consider selling it for less then $30K with such low mileage.
