So i came across a 2005 g35x for $6,500 and i can tell you it is super clean in the inside! It is a rebuilt title and has a really good carfax report. The reason it is rebuilt is because it had an accident and the rear right side door was destroyed and he just replaced it with another door and the body is still in great shape with no frame damage. The outside is quite beat up but i will be driving it to school and i know it will only get worse so im not to worried about it. It also has every option on it including BOSE audio, gps, keyless entry, and wood trim. I am just wondering if it would be a good buy or not. Also i am sorry i do not have any pictures.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

What state are you in? Ive never heard of a rebuilt title in nj. We have salvage which means it was a total loss by the ins company.If the body is in great shape how can the outside be beat up? I wouldnt base your decision on the options.If it had a clean title yes but a rebuilt title I wouldnt. Have it checked out by a auto tech and maybe a body shop to make sure the frame is not toast.You want a car thats safe to drive to school! And to make sure you dont waste your money!

Mileage?
The price is low for an 05 loaded AWD. Just be aware when it comes time to sell your car, the salvage title will lower the value. Fine if you plan on keeping it for a while.
While I generally advise to stay away from salvaged cars, with older cars, it doesn't take much to total out a car. Minor accidents can exceed the value an insurance co will total a vehicle at. Just make sure you do your due diligence and examine the repair. I've seen total cars repairs they look good but have small issues like electrical gremlins (due to pinched harnesses) and issues with suspension (bent components) and such that was missed during the repair.
