In the Used Car Market

[Dirt]

Hypothetically, if there was a forum member, hypothetically named Dirt, who hypothetically was selling his 2004 Pontiac GTO with 56k miles, in Ohio, you should buy that

I think you're living in the past, man!

I think the UAW is doing THAT!

Another question for my brothers. What is meant by "Rebuilt Title". Is that no better than any other potential hack-job on the engine? Can you drop an engine, certified with ~50,000 miles on it and feel safe that it will not be a problem any more so than if it were the original engine?

Would you stay clear of any kind of engine mention, even if the whole thing is replaced?

Rebuilt means TERRIBLE ACCIDENT (as someone else said) and you want nothing to do with one.

Replacement engines are usually "rebuilt blocks" with the rest of the rebuild done (often with used parts from the old engine) in a local shop. I've NEVER even CONSIDERED buying such a suspect specimen.
