Looking to buy 03, good deal?

First let me start out by saying that it has a Rebuilt title due to theft. Car is an 03 with 86k on it. The guy had an 06 that he wrecked. Guy bought the 03 from auction with no motor/trans. Put his 06(Mivec/ACD) engine/trans in it. He said his motor has about 45k miles on it and the transfer case only has 5k on it. He was asking $12k, said he would take $11k. If everything looks good I'm going to offer $10k cash. I'm only gonna put liability on it and want it as a fun beater car, something I can have fun with and not care too much about it (unlike my 08 X).

Let me know what you guys think. Guys meeting me at my work here in about 30 minutes. Hopefully everything looks good.

Drive it, make sure all works the way its supposed to. If you like it go for it.

You can turn around & part it out & get more money than what you paid for it

Just got back from the drive. Looks pretty good. Clutch feels good, pulls hard. Rotors need to be cut BAD(but thats easy). Tires need to be replaced BAD. No hum from transfer case. No odd noises from engine or anything. Rear calipers are dark black, wtf? The whole instrument cluster is from the 06 with all the ACD stuff, that all toggles through fine. Has nice SSL interior. All in all it looks pretty clean. Still leary about a salvage title and a pieced together unit....

Still considering... Do you guys think its worth that, even with a salvage title. I just want to be able to get rid of it for about the same price if I had to sell it. I dont want to over pay.
