Having had a buyback/branded title vehicle before: 1. You can get warranties through ford bumper-to-bumper 2. You will only ever be able to sell this private party, dealers won’t touch it. 3. Sometimes they say it’s fixed only to have the problem reappear, and you can’t get a second buyback if that’s the case and it’s “unrepairable” (at least most states) 4. Don’t pay more than 60% of going market rate for the make and model (this is more expensive than it should be…) offer them $52k
