THE HISTORY OF BUICK CENTURY http://www.cars-directory.net/history/buick/century/ 2002 Buick Century Owner’s Manual. http://www.extendedgmwarranty.com/owners-manual/buick/2002-Buick-Century.pdf The car was involved in a minor accident. No real damage was done. No airbag deplayed. Prior damage Regarding the history of this car, We bought it from an Insurance Company. All repairs were done by a professional auto body. We personally test drive all of out cars to make sure everything is in working condition and that we will deliver a vehicle that is road ready and in need of nothing. This Buick comes with a California salvage certificate. All safety inspection have been passed and it now ready to be registered. For buyers out side California Please note that We can also obtain a rebuilt title for this vehicle upon buyer's request. Registration process for a vehicle with a rebuilt title is identical to the one with a clean title. Nothing extra is required to register a vehicle with a rebuilt title . NO inspections are required with a rebuilt title. Cost for getting a rebuilt title is $250. This process will take up to 14 days and will be started only after full payment has been made. WHAT DOES REBUILT OR SALVAGE TITLE MEANS Many people are not familiar with the Salvage or Rebuilt title, below is a brief explanation of the "Salvage verses Rebuilt Title" terminology: Salvage title basically means that the insurance company decided not to fix the car and paid off the owner. By declaring a car "Total Loss”, Insurance Company is taking themselves out of any liability issues in the future. Does that means the car is totaled, not always. Sometimes the car has minor damage but the parts are very expensive. Sometimes the owner does not want to get the vehicle repaired and depending on the Insurance Company and the year of the car, Insurance will pay off the owner. If the car gets stolen then Insurance has thirty days to recover the vehicle, if the car is not recovered in thirty days, Insurance pays off the owner and once the car is recovered, it is brought to the auction as a Total Loss vehicle even if it did not have any damage on it. Now for Rebuilt title, once the repairs are completed, car is inspected by state for all repairs and a Rebuilt Title is issued, which means that the new owner will not have to get any inspection done to get the car back on the road. With rebuilt title, buyer can simply walk into the DMV and get the car registered without any repair documents or inspection work.
