Default Which car to buy?

'00 TA 71k miles Ram Air II hood auto, T-tops - with an R-Title, but has been that way since 2k miles $8500 which I assume could get much cheaper, thinkin I'd go $7000 max

or

'97 TA great condition T-tops auto, 65k miles $7k

Personally, I would go with the 97. R-title would make me warry. I would just never feel safe when driving fast, since the car is prob not top notch.

If you can, see if you can find out why the 00 has a rebuilt title.

the car was in an accident in the 1st month, lol. but I talked to the bank, they don't loan with a car that has an R-title, so looks like the '97 it is

You're better off with the '97. I'd take a solid car with an LT1 over a rebuilt title car with an LS1 any day.
