[QUOTE="wardy, post: 1162224, member: 16710"] I have done "rebuilders" for about 25 years. As a person who buys them and then sells them, I keep all photos, bills for work done and parts bills. Usually we drive them a year, or two, then sell them. all the bugs are worked out if any and we can tell the person what it drives like etc. And yes value is much less with a rebuilt/salvage title. in IL you have to have a license to rebuild and a repair license. Then if you buy a salvage, you have to get it inspected twice before you can title it to drive. One is a safety test, the other a parts/vin test to make sure all parts are not stolen and vin's are all correct. For instance. 1997 ext cab chev dually 4x4, we bought wrecked 3 years ago, side damage, some small frame damage. paid 3200.00. have 4400.oo total in it now. I have drove it for 2.5 years and it's been a good truck. If i sold it likely would get like 5500 out of it or so. bottom line, don't pay alot, don't buy it if your not good at fixing things, and make sure you know as much as you can about it before you do buy it. option two. pay retail at a dealer. :) [/QUOTE]
