You're still under the 8 yr 100k warranty, as far as I can tell.
Have it compression tested at your local dealer.
Though, you'll need oil change receipts.

generally, you'll need to have all of your service receipts as proof that your car was maintained properly.
However, some dealers will back you up. Call your local dealer and tell them that you believe your car has low compression. Inform them that you just bought this car privately and don't have any maintenance records. Go from there

Good luck

I would worry about the "rebuilt title"... was the car written off and re registered?

If the dealer treats you well, give them a plug in the "Good guy/bad guy" forum.

You only called the dealer, the dealer has to see and check the vin # of the car and it will show that it is a rebuilt title in it. Not sure if the rebuilt title is under the warranty claim.

Depends on the classification of a rebuilt and salvage in your state.
If you look in your warranty manual you will see them explicitly say a salvaged title will void the cars warranty.
