Nice cars but IMO its to much money for the title being rebuilt it throws the org miles out the window. I buy many of these cars myself, have had over 20 in 2 yrs. I would be interested in both cars if the price was right. If not no biggie and good luck with your sale. To nice of cars to be sitting.

KBB value in the worst condition is almost $12K, and this car is far from that.

I think if you were able to elaborate a bit more on the condition of the car, it would help. $8500 might be within range. Have you driven the car? Is EVERYTHING electrical and mechanical functioning as it should? The car should be driven for at least 100 miles just to make sure everything is functioning properly. Do you have any paperwork at all that describes what damage rendered the car as a "salvage" vehicle? Has a mechanic examined it at all? Hurricane Katrina happened long enough ago that if the car had been saturated, it would be showing signs of rust....particularly on surfaces that are not painted. Does the car have any musty funny smells? Is it making any funny noises?
Even if you were selling it for $4500, most buyers do not want to chance getting on the road with it and then experiencing severe electrical problems (which flood cars typically experience)....or finding out the engine and/or transmission internals were soaked and are substantially deteriorated from sitting. Water and engines don't go together very well....as I'm sure you know.
Take it for a ride and have someone video...do a walkaround.....and record everything you can.
These are just my suggestions. I don't mean to come across as condascending. People buy "rebuilt" titled cars all the time but the smart ones only buy them when they know exactly why it has a "rebuilt" title and specifically how the damage was addressed. Water damaged vehicles with "rebuilt" titles are particularly difficult to sell.
Good luck with your sale!! Again, $8500 might not be bad but, as it stands, this car has a HUGE question mark attached to it.

Sorry for the vague description and all, I'm currently helping a buddy of mine sell off the rest of his dad's cars that he had before he passed. I put up as much info as we both know.
We don't have time to drive each car 100 miles.
If there are serious/potential buyers then feel free to send me an email and we can set up a time for you to look at the cars.
As stated the cars are in Andalusia, but we both live in Montgomery where we both work so it's not really an easy thing to go answer every little question.

The point of this post you replied to was to drive the car around enough to make sure everything works as it should and note any issues that may come up, however many miles that takes. Not just crank it up and claim it is good to go
Even with rebuilt titles, you could make a sale with these cars, they sell all the time. A little info on your end and I bet youll get a bunch of hits and unload them pretty quick.

The sad thing is, your friend could potentially have two really nice cars sitting there. The insurance companies were so overwhelmed trying to settle claims after the hurricane that those vehicles may have experienced a minimal amount of damage.
The $10,000 you've been offered for both cars is about as reasonable an offer as you could hope to get with the information given. You and your friend really should consider it if you don't have the time to provide more details. GLWS !!

Get your lazy *** in the cars and go drive them. How does that take time out of your day? You have to go to work right? DRIVE THE DAMN CAR TO WORK!!!!! DRIVE IT TO THE GROCERY STORE!! Jesus Christ dude. Noone is going to buy a salvage titled flood car without some proof that its good to go. If you want to sell them wash the bastards, clean them up and knock the rust off the rotors...................
