Not worth the savings! I bought a 2011 Ford Expedition EL 3 years ago, and I wanted to wait and do a review once we had a chance to own the vehicle for a sufficient amount of time to know what the problems are that should ve been fixed during rebuild, and which ones are normal wear and tear. Also, I feel a little deceived on what a branded title really is. Anyway, I saved about $5k on the vehicle verses a clean title, but realize now that we ve burned through that and then some on unnecessary repairs and it is just not worth the hassle of owning a branded title vehicle. Here is a list of the problems: steering column needs to be replaced as the bolt threads are stripped, steering wheel is pressed on and becomes loose every 6 months $1,000 repair. Gas spews out of the tank when filling up at the gas station (could be a variety of problems with the evap system or tank itself) ~$600 repair. Radiator fan has two settings, low and high, only high worked when purchased causing the radiator to fail prematurely, $1,400 repair. Tires were bald when purchased $1,000 repair. Sunroof rails are broken, $2,000 repair. Front dash blend door motor bad, $650 repair. Transmission has a hard downshift, estimated $3k to $5k repair. Automatic windshield sensor bad, $500 repair. Condensation in the headlight, $500 repair. Tears in passenger seat ($???). Those are just the things I m aware of because I m positive there are more. Add all those up and it s easily $10k to $12k in repairs. The rebuild of this vehicle was shoddy at best.

These are issues that you might see on a vehicle that is nearing 200k miles, not 90k. I will never purchase another branded title vehicle ever.
