I was thinking about buying a used RSX. I was looking into this one for $5000. It had low low miles. The guy said that everything works great but that the frame was stretched out. He said he went over a curb going 35mph. That somehow stretched the frame a couple inches. So the car is longer then it should be. The car drives fine nothing appears wrong. The guy said there was no real way to fix it though. Now I know that car is messed up but do you really think going over a curb could stretch out the cars frame. He said it was a good car still and the body shop said it was ok to drive just don't try to get crazy in it. The body and interior is flawless. Everything appears fine. Think is possible to just get a new frame or some other way to fix the car? I need some opinions on this. If I missed something or you have a question just post need help please.

 

You could buy it and part it out

 

Would it be worth driving around? How bad would it be if it was just a couple inches too long?

 

It's a unibody. It does not have a frame.

Why don't you take it to a bodyshop that specializes in these things and let them tell you how bad it is and what it will effect.

 

The guy at the body shop said that the car was stretched and that it would be near immpossible to fix. But that if it was taken to a suspension guy they may be able to get it so that it can drive and be fine with the current condition. But would it be better buy the car and drive it or just part it out.

 

This seems fishy to me. How can the body be ok, the interior be flawless, yet the car is a couple inches longer? Please explain this to me.

 

Wouldnt you think the body panels would be way off...

 

Yea but the guy has papers from the body shop showing but the damage. It's really weird I guess.

 

buy it & keep the motor/tranny & sell everything else if you have the $$

 

Do you have pics of this car, i still cant imagine what it would like. I dont see how the car could streght 2inches and not crack.
