So that amount of damage seems pretty small for a vehicle to get a rebuilt title. It has also passed the rebuilt inspection report.
Any red flags to look for?
Would a pre purchase mechanical inspection cover any more than the rebuilt inspection would have done already?
Opinions on buying a rebuilt status vehicle?
Still not sure I am comfortable buying one but need to better understand the process.

We bought a rebuilt 2015 Honda CRV. The shop had lots of pictures of the damage, which was all to the drive side corner. They told us all the big items they replaced (radiator, front wheel, driver door, etc), and had no issue with us doing a 3rd party inspection. We took it to the Honda dealership on Barlow, they verified everything the seller told us and confirmed there was no frame damage. It served us very well until we upgraded to a Highlander last year, and we ended up selling it for only 3k less than we paid
