Buybacks are classified as a "branded title" and just like any branded title, you are pretty well on your own. No warranty of any kind, no financing, and limited market demand. The insurance companies will insure them, but other than that, you are pretty well buying it with the expectation that you will own it for a really long time until it just doesn't matter any more (the junk yard doesn't care if it's a branded title). The worst things I have heard of are people who buy cars, and then discover after the fact that it has a branded title when they go to trade it in. The title itself doesn't reflect it, but Carfax does and they didn't check the Carfax when they bought it, or worse yet, Carfax wasn't up to date when they bought it. Sorry to hear you go screwed on the deal, and $2500 might have gotten some serious interest around here.
