I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
Well i was on cars.com and found this civic for 7,900$
It says it salvage titled.
So when i called, he right away told me that, it was salvage titled. It was the door and on the fender.
He has this in the dispretion
"Please note 2007 Honda Civc LX GRAY 49K Miles Salvage Title, Automatic Very Clean NO Engine or Tran Damage, Drive Straight, No Frame Damage, Original Airbags, Perfect Conditon Full Power $7900"

Should i go for this?
Im looking at the picture, and it looks new. He repaired the door and fender
I Want a civic for a 1st car.
If you have aim please AIM me. GB Mister GB

I'd avoid buying a car that has been in a wreck. Don't let the low price fool you and don't trust everything in the description. If you are interested, take it to a mechanic for a full mechanical and safety test to make sure everything is fine.

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
Should i get the VIN number and take it in for a check up and stuff?
and if it is good should i get it?
I Herd alot of people buy slavage title cars and it works just fine.

Do not buy it. It's not worth crap. Especially $7900. Find something that has not been totalled.

I don't think a 99 Civic EX is worth $4000 unless it doesn't have much mileage.Maybe an 99 Si is worth $4000.I suggest to not buy it because of salvage title.Any specs on the car?

Buying a salvaged car is a terrible idea.

I wouldn't consider it for a second.

You could buy a 99 civic with a clean title for that much. And buying salvage cars are a bad idea.

Don't try to get the deal of the century. You get what you pay for especially with salvaged cars! If insurance companies will not pay to fix em, then why would you?

AndrewH. 08-22-2010 11:01 PM

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
well like i said i found the 1999 civic it is salvage because it was stolen.
it has 87,000 miles
the dude wants 4,000$ for it.

MindBomber 08-22-2010 11:27 PM

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
$4000 for a 99 civic is expensive, at least in my area.

Aside from that, the majority of people won't even consider buying a salvaged car, so that takes a huge percentage off the actual value.

Same over here in Cali.You can get a 99 Civic for almost half that price.

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!

run a carfax on it or something and find out why it's a salvage title.

AndrewH. 08-22-2010 11:56 PM

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
it was stolen and returned.

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
my car was a totaled rebuild with 60k on it. i'm now close to 100k. not a single problem. but i got an inspection mech/structural. i'd advise to look for something else as the posts above me have but not all rebuilds are junk. do you know if the guy was a certified honda mechanic who rebuilt it? i'm not sure how rebuilds work in the states but they're pretty strict around here when it comes to selling someone a car that was totaled.

Oh damn overpriced Civic.Try Craigslist.There's always cheap stuff there.$4000 for 99 Civic?$3000 at most if not an Si.And don't worry about mileage on a Civic.But the lower it is,the better.

AndrewH. 08-23-2010 02:41 AM

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!

VTEC-4.0 08-23-2010 02:54 AM

Re: I'm Andrew I'm new and 17!
 
55,000 miles is pretty low considering the year of the car.So 5k isn't a bad price.

I think you should buy that 98 Civic for $5,000.I couldn't find any Civic close to that mileage.
