Up top the title says 'Other.'
In the text it reads 'Clean title.'
Something is not right.

They have a 100% positive rating. Perhaps it is cheap because it is a repo or lease turn in?

"If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is"... I think some old guy said that...

Also says "rebuilt" on one of the title lines.
Good Deal or No Deal?

You are probably looking at a salvage title. Who knows, maybe a Katrina car. That's why it's so cheap. I wouldn't buy it for $18K, not even for $15K. Remember, no warranty on salvage or rebuilt titles.

Thumbs down Re: legal theft

The car has a salvage title due to a major front crash. I ran a Carfax/AutoCheck on the Vin #. Buyer Beware!!!

Yes...and also check the fitment on drivers side between hood and bumper cover by grille and other side of headlight by left fender - a little off, eh?
