At the end of the day its my choice and my mechanic is looking at it, I used to rebuild engines, I've worked on my Jeep for years and I'm good at cosmetics, but more importantly mechanical work, and for me, I'd rather sand and paint a bumper or replace a head gasket before I try to wire an electric seat in a sport. So in conclusion, its a limited, its mechanically fine and the electric bugs have been fixed, personally for me by that dealer, he did it because I said "unless you fix the electrical I cannot consider" the guys working with me in a honest positive way. Colorado law protects rebuilt vehicles and this guy has like 7 other rebuilt title cars for sale on the same lot next to clean title ones. Its not the 80s anymore guys, people make legit livings in THIS state off of perfectly repaired cars. Do your research, keep an open mind. Is it overpriced? Yep, I already agreed about 10 times with you all. So I am sorry i posted this because really this just taught me asking outside sources can confuse you, and my best personal judgement and knowledge is all I needed. What a mess.


FWIW, for those of you still not reading everything this car has a "rebuild from salvage" title, the state has already inspected it post-repair and has already been re-titled by the state under this term. Its not salvage I'm repairing it or trying to convince the state its road safe, its already been verified.

I see right through your plan. Haha
