Rebuilt Title/Engine - 1 Accident
I know who fixed it and ive seen the seller (friend) drive it for a little over a year.
25K miles on the Tranny/8K miles on the engine

i'd go on kbb.com see what it's worth i do it all the time or try to find one in the news paper or autorv.com to see what there going for.
good luck.....

only thing is. its hard to find the value when it has a rebuilt title.....kbb says 14-15K in fair condition with a clear title.

Wikianswers.com states that "Typically salvaged vehicles lose 50% of their NADA or KBB value, but usually this only matters if you are using your salvaged vehicle as a trade-in. The actual value loss can range greatly if you are selling it to a private party. This will be largely determined by the extent of damage to the vehicle and how concerned the buyer is with the damage or the effected repairs. If the repair work has been done professionally, the vehicle may not even lose value. One item to note, however- some insurance companies will not insure a salvage title vehicle or will atleast limit how it can be insured."

is there a difference between salvage and rebuilt. The title says rebuilt. is that better? and does anyone know a good/fair mechanic in south florida to work on lincoln.....or should i just go to the dealer.
