I'm looking at a 99 Porsche Boxster online that says, quote: "Car was totally rebuilt about 3 years ago". It seems like a good deal for $5500 with everything in "excellent condition" but I'm not sure if the word "rebuilt" means the engine went dead and had to be rebuilt or it got in a wreck and was replaced. Even if it was a good engine is it trustworthy to buy being "rebuilt"?
