All I can do is tell you my story. Just over 2 years ago I purchased an insurance writeoff rebuilt title 2005 Crossfire convertible. I knew the rebuilder and felt good about the car for $3000. I have since put over $6000 into the car to bring everything up to spec. Not knowing the service history on the car...I did just about all wear items. I helped save a car that was going to be parted out and crushed. Would I do it again....probably not. I can say I have had GREAT help from this site and was lucky to fine wonderful smart people in Tampa to help with the car.
