2007 Nissan Murano , salvage/rebuilt title for 11K

[miteshs]

Hi,

I saw this car on craiglist, it is 2007 Nissan Murano with 69k miles on it, for 11K, but has salvage/rebuilt title. I am in Austin, TX.

He showed me the car, said no mechanical issue, just front bumper and rear glass and cosmetic damages. I looked under the hood, the machine looks untouched. But I am no guru or specialist, just an average driver.

Should I buy this car? How about getting extended warranty from the dealer? Will they cover it like they do for clean title?

thanks
Mit

The best thing to do is to get a good mechanic to check it out for you. And test drive it for at least 15 minutes over as many "terrains" as you can.

Thanks. I have heard mixed reviews on edmunds, also the dealer wont provide extended warranty. I am not sure to go ahead with this car. I did some research and looks like CVT / transfer costs are too high if it goes wrong, I cannot take chance on 11K car.

BTW do you know any good and reliable 3rd party companies who can provide extended warranty?
