Default Need Suggestions to see if i should buy this hatch(CAR FAX INSIDE)info needed!!!

I just put a topic on here earlier to bout this 97 hatch(its actually a 97 and a CX) that i might get but need info first. Just want to know if this car will be able to be insured and be legal to drive? I looked at this car personally and looks and drives GOOD. I noticed no problems when driving. If i get it, it will be for $4300
Thanks H-T
This car fax is just a CUT AND PASTE.

Wow, sounds like it has had a terrible life, So I would say no. I don't even know if your insurance would cover it. Check with them.

$4300 for a hatch that has a history like that? Ridiculous...

Junk title sounds bad, and it's been in a severe accident, that would scare me away right there, maybe it doesn't drive right or it may give you problems down the road. Also, if you look at when each owner got the car, the time between the 3rd and 4th owner in only 1 month, a guy getting rid of a car in a month doesn't look good. Also it's already had 4 owners and you are going to be the 5th. I'd say look for another one that hasn't been in an accident and has a clean title. This is just my opinion

total loss report fromt he dmv....come on dude get real, what do you think the answer is going to be??

first thing in getting a car never get excited about it, because it blurs the big picture...

that car is not worth more than $1,500.00 if you want problems in the future get it. and then post the problems you encounter here, so we can laugh in your face and say "i told you so"

JMHO

No way would I spend $4300 on it. It will never have decent resell value and you won't get much at all if something happens to it (theft, accident, etc.) after you buy it.

Well this is what I will do if i decide to get it.

I will first have it looked at from a mechanic and check out everthing on the car and see what he says about it.

And after that if everthing looks good, I will only offer him no more than $2000

Does that sound better?
