Anyone have any insight or advice on cars with rebuilt titles?

Considering one right now, but still don't know if I'm confortable buying a written-off car which has been rebuilt.

This unit drives well and looks real nice, but is only about 15% under the cost of comparable clean units. From what I've read, that difference should be way higher than that. More like 30%?

I know there are strict certifications and tests which the car has to pass before it can be re-sold and considered road worthy again, but I think in the back of my mind I'd always be worried about safety and any future issues.

Plus, re-selling it will be a huge issue as it is an issue for me as a potential buyer.

Thoughts and opinions?
