registration and all that should be the same, (can't remember for sure, but I'm 85% sure it is the same)

Insurance is going to be a bit higher, but for a track beater, you're just going to have state minimums so it shouldn't make that much difference.

really, the only downside is the re-sale.
which you said you don't really care about it, so drop a stack of cash and get the car.

get some insurance quotes for that VIN number. I wonder if some of the smaller companies would even know if it was a rebuilt title or not...
