Question re: title status "rebuilt" in craigslist ads-- I see this a lot from private owners.... this means someone took a car that was in junk or salvage status at some point e.g. after being totaled by an insurance company and rebuilt it?

Yup...
Sometimes (when the damage that "totaled" it was body and fender stuff) it can be a great deal... Other times (when it went for a swim in salt water...) it's buying trouble. Lots and lots of trouble...forever.
If the title says Salvage on it, require more info, and a carfax report... IMHO
If the title says "salvage" I would have to jump through hoops to get it converted to some other status, no?
