What mistake??? I didn't make a mistake, this is by far my best buy at an auction. It's the only vehicle I have ever owned that actually went up in value.

I already explained why it has a rebuilt title. It's had a insurance loss claim paid out on it and was sold at an insurance auction to me, once that happens you cannot get a clean title, at least not in Illinois, as far as why exactly I do not know for sure, although I have a good idea based on my experience, but since it's only going to be my word with no proof I'm reluctant to do so, I will say that it was very superficial, the vehicle came from Florida, the insurance company isn't going to disclose any of the claim details to any third parties by law. I've already explained there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, nothing has been repaired or replaced, if it was something bad like a flood, it would be branded as such and there would be evidence of it, I don't want to go in circles about rebuilt titles, it is what it is, either you can get past it and take advantage of it or you can't and if you can't that's ok, cause someone else will. The vehicle is flawless, and physically no different then one with a CLEAN title. All my vehicles have rebuilt titles, and so does my families and friends, I have a license to buy at the insurance auctions where sometimes I get damaged vehicles and sometimes undamaged vehicles, if you have experience and know what you are doing, that's a great way to save money. All my vehicles are top notch, and anything I offer for sale is as well, has been gone though inside and out. If you are a serious buyer then come out and take a look at it, and see for yourself. I'm offering it here first to my fellow forum members in case someone wants to take advantage, but will be listing it locally next month, I do not have any problem selling a rebuilt title vehicle locally and I do not get as much of a hard time about it as I seem to get on this forum, and it certainly doesn't help when people who have no experience buying rebuilt title cars, going through the rebuilding process, buying vehicles at an insurance auction where you need a license to do so, people who are not mechanics or otherwise in the automotive industry, make misleading and uneducated statements about the process yet further misinforming others who are trying to learn and understand, and it is a complicated process with many differences from state to state.

I understand your curiosity, but if you think about it any used car you buy, you don't know where it's been, what's been done to it, what kind of accidents it's had, or extensive reconstruction, carfax doesn't show everything, it's good for verifiing mileage and sometimes maintenance history but other stuff, good luck, they miss a lot of things, and make a lot of errors, most common one is multiple owners, they think every time a title is issued its a new owner, among other things. I've seen this with cars that were extensively repaired at bodyshops, under an insurance claim, and to this day there is no reporting on a lot of them, bottom line is that when you buy a vehicle privately, you have to be comfortable buying a car on the street, able to inspect the vehicle yourself, or bring someone that can do that for you, and make a decision. Some people are completely incapable of doing that, and that's ok, they buy brand new cars with warranty from reputable brand name dealers for top dollar, and sometimes even that goes wrong, lemons do exist, and do get sold, even by big brand name dealers.
