I would think that the one owner car is the way to go, but I would not be afraid of the rebuilt car. I would want to know if there was any unibody damage. If they just threw tin and a rad/condenser at it, there should be no issue with it being rebuilt. The rebuilt title, though, makes the value much less, so I would think you would have more bargaining room on that one. Many cars older than 99 reach the total loss threshold pretty quickly...does not mean that they are not repairable, just that the cost to repair is too close to the cost to total...a Bonny hit in the front brings a pretty good salvage bid for the doors and rear body parts....so if it needed airbags and front tin/rad support but the unibody was not damaged, it would likely make a good car. Don't give up on that one til you investigate further. If you have a buddy in the autobody industry, have them look at it..they can tell if the unibody was repaired. Also consider Buick LeSabres as they are the same car for all intents and purposes and can be had cheap.
