How much does a rebuilt title affect value?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-Lamborghini-M...NzX&vxp=mtr How much does a rebuilt title affect the selling price? Does This seems a little high for accident history?

How does a "minor accident" with just cosmetic damage get a rebuilt title?

This reeks of Dr. Murcielago.

Keep walking...that looks like a world of hurt.

Haha!

 

For those that don't know, just search Dr. Murcielago on here and grab some popcorn. Stay as far away as possible from this car.

The CARFAX shows:

 

05/18/2013 Damage Report Accident reported

with another motor vehicle

Very severe left front damage reported

Vehicle towed

 

05/18/2013 7,631 Damage Report TOTAL LOSS VEHICLE

Vehicle declared a total loss

by an insurance company

Collision damage reported

 

 

Don't know how the dealer in New Jersey would much about the accident and be able to say the accident was "minor" as it appears the "very severe left front damage" occurred in Houston, Texas.

I could have sworn this car was discussed here before.

Look at the guys in their own ad. Would you trust them?

"This 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Coupe was involved in a minor accident on May 18, 2013. Damage was cosmetic, no mechanical issues at all!

This reeks of Dr. Murcielago.

Wow, you are right..this guy sells repaired DISASTERS!

Double SV wing....?

Most insurance companies will not insure a salvage /rebuilt title vehicle.

Double SV wing....?

 

I just noticed after you .. lol fail

Double SV wing....?

 

Look at the rear view, the real sv either came with the large wing mounted on truss like stands or a low wing that was an extension of the rear.

This car has both wings.

I would never buy a car without extensive accident photos of the car, in which by the way are almost always nonexistant (gee I wonder why). But I have found photos by searching the VIN in google, sometimes works sometimes not.

Long-time lurker, but posting because I see these kind of threads too much.

 

1. Always Google the VIN and try to find old pages from what a car was advertised in the past in various conditions.

2. If you find search results but the pages no longer show the car, view the cached page that Google may have stored still.

3. Do a Google image search on the VIN and look for pictures of a car that would seem to fit the description and follow those images to whatever pages they lead to.

4. Take the images of the car you think it is, right click the image (if using Chrome) and click Search Google for image to find all instances of that image in Google's index and the corresponding pages they're located on it.

 

In this, you'll find the two images that member Assman shared. Same color, same wheels; so that's probably it and the damage that caused it to be a total loss.

 

And regarding "good deals" in accident cars: You buy it for less, you sell it for less, and you get the added headache and risks that come along with owning it. Cars are assets and old ones are far along the depreciation curve. The only savings realized from buying an accident car is from the delta in sales tax. You are not actually coming out ahead because a clean car will sell for the same premium you paid for it over the accident car, most likely or close to it.

 

So ask yourself, is the sales tax savings worth the risk of the car being totally fucked up, possibly needing a fortune in repairs, and the headache of trying to sell a car that had a major accident?

 

And when it comes to selling, don't think for a second that being cheaper means you have the same or wider audience. The market for a $130K wrecked Lamborghini is actually a small subset of people who are in the market for $130K exotics, and it's mainly composed of people who cannot afford the car and are stretching beyond belief.

That company has been trying to sell those 2 Murcis for a long time.

Look at the guys in their own ad. Would you trust them?
