2014 Fiesta ST with a rebuilt title due to ... flooding.
Car came out of Houston. There is a picture of the water line in the ad.

End of the day though, $10,975: NP or CP?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Cloth seats, 72k miles combined with the rebuilt title has me not feeling 100% about $10,975. I’m not saying total CP, but drop it a couple grand and it’s NP all day.

CP. Only $3k more will net one with similar miles and a clean title easily

I’d go so far as to say with fewer miles and clean title

Lmao huge CP. These sell for like $5k off sticker near me. Rather spend a few months saving and then get a brand new one or a used one that isn’t a hurricane survivor.

Crack pipe. A rebuilt title and about 20,000 more miles than comparable cars for what $2,000 or so in savings? That’s not enough.

Guy buys flooded FiST, discovers gremlins of flood damaged car aren’t worth the headache, tries to sell at a premium for what it is.

Too bad, it’s a cool car.

I’ve seen savage title FOSTs go for not much more than that. With less miles.

It’s a good candidate for stripping and racing

Maybe at half he price. Like others have said these are easily in the 12–15k range used.

CP, and I say that as someone who had their Civic totalled by Hurricane Matthew. Even if the flood damage is minor, good luck insuring it. I’m still in the process of getting a rebuilt title, and once I do I’m going to give away the car because it’s not worth the effort to sell.

Flood damage so no at any price

CP. WL or not. I woudnt trust a flood car.

Oh, it had better be indestinguishable from original for that money. You can get one for $12,887 factory certified at 400 miles away. I’d take the trip...

The last person who bought a new off the lot 2016 that I was privy to bought it for something around $16k, because the dealers wanted them gone. This was last year as they were moving them out.

72k miles combined + rebuilt title for 11k is not crack pipe, it’s bath salts.

I’ve seen them sell around me with less miles and clean titles for around $13,000-$14,000. Knowing how much a rebuilt title eviscerates resale value, it’d be a hard pass for me.

I’d be in at around $6,000 at the most. Maybe $6,500 if it had the Recaro seats. But that’s just me. Heck, maybe I should offer the guy $6k, would make a fine daily driver if there’s no mold in it.
