Kinda makes you wish you would have spent the ~$10 at the time.
What do you mean, rebuilt?? I mean, I've owned a salvage vehicle and all so I know what to look for. What is setting it off to make you think it's rebuilt??

what i was meaning was the engine bay looks rebuilt not the entire car as in a collision or whatever it has holes drilled in the dents around where the top of the struts bolt up or whatever. It sorta looks like an engine was dropped or something which could have been what happened, both fenders have identical dent patterns and are pretty dented up. its too late to do anything now but oh well its a lesson learned.

hmm i noticed the number 3 on 135,000 [which it now is] is kinda scratched. idk but for a car that is supposed to have almost 300k it looks pretty good with no rust just some fender dents and little chips. is there any way that it could be a swapped vin and dash or something? or is there no way the vin would be changeable. like a new title or something. also whoever went through the trouble of making the car seem like 300k [if that what it is] had to have spent more than the extra 400 bucks or so he got out of it. everything is in good condition. i can tell the carpet was changed out which would be a clear sign that the old one was worn. Is there any way to go to the dmv and find out the previous owner who sold it to me? he gave us a number and name that had to be fake because he wouldnt answer the phone.
