Unless it's like 200 bucks I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole...
Keep looking there are LOTS of these cars out there.

Move on to something better. Please, do yourself a favor and don't buy a Honda.
I can't wait to get into my career this August to get out of Hondas. Everyone is so desperate to buy one that they'll even buy crashed ones. Hrmm...

Depends on what you want to do and what "framework" damage is done.
If it is not major damage and you want a track car and don't care how it looks, then it's worth looking into. But if you want a daily driver, then chances are your going to end up spending more to fix it up then to just buy one used.

There's a reason you got to this one before the other shoppers.... you didn't. They just didn't want one that has had frame damage, and for good cause. I suggest you get an autotrader every week on the day that it's published, and call around immediately. It took me 6 months to find the car that I was looking for, but I didn't really search hard, and it was worth the wait.

Re: Accidented EG....still worth buying? (TenLarge)
anything with significant framework isn't going to be worth it...it really does depend on the kind of framework since Honda's are unibodies....and the alignment can always be iffy with that kind of work...i'd pass...but that's just my 2 cents

I have a 94' EG6 and it had front end damage to the frame and all but I still bought it. It also had body work all around the car and I owned the car for about 3-4 months already and nothing happend so far.
