Default possible new owner needs advice

Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of buying this one speed6, 2006, 100k miles, current owner says it runs fine, and it looks like the car has been taken care of. The problem is it has a rebuilt title due to water damage. My questions are:
Has anyone experienced or had a car with water damage?
How serious does the the damage have to be for the insurance company to total the car?
I might check it out this weekend, what should i look, ask for?
How much is the car worth?
Thanks for the input.

Water damage means issues for almost any car. I would avoid it but that's just my opinion.
