I am a new member here and would like to hear some opinions on this car.

2011 Roadster Touring, Sport, Nav, Auto, Carpeted mats, and 7300 miles.
13 months still on factory warranty per Nissan

Does not have splash guards or lighted sills.

2 Owner car.

Original owner bought the car in Oct 2011. Had numerous issues with the top all documented under warranty. Owner not happy and Nissan buys the car back, I assume under the lemon law. Complete new top installed. Fabric and operating mechanism at around 500 miles. Car is sold at Dealer auction January 2012. Owner number 2 buys it and has no problems with the top or anything else.

I ran a VIN check and it comes back as having a branded title (buyback). The car is like brand new in every way. The only documented warranty is on the top all within the first 500 miles. The top operates perfectly and the fabric shows no signs of wear anywhere.

I think owner 2 bought the car at a very good price kept it a while and is now selling to make some profit, which is fine.

My question is how much should the branded title affect the value of the car?
