I've been looking to pick up a used IS-F, and I saw this listed on Autotrader. I've also been checking out a few IS-F focused web communities for ideas. I don't know the proper web etiquette regarding this, so I'm just going to say it. You paid entirely too much for a car with a rebuilt title!

Yeah, I spoke to Shaun over at CJ Prestman and he told me it had been rear-ended and it had a rebuilt/restored title. I was ready to have that car shipped to FL immediately! When I found out the title was rebuilt, I offered him $28K, and he respectfully declined. F's with good titles and similar mileage are listing in the high 30's. I'm working on a deal locally though. Can't wait!

I want to say again, no disrespect to the owner and congrats.

that's right, I called that same company, he called back, brad or shawn ,first thing I asked was has it been in accidents/ is title clear, he told me it had a salvage title due to being rear ended...

. I was surprised as some clean titled F's were asking 38 just a few months ago. A silver one I missed up in the bay area. He needs to put the title status on the ad, its misleading.

OP if you paid close to what he was asking...find out if there is a no cooling off period stated in the contract or business or what, ASAP!!
