turns out there is a severe amount of frame damage. I went to a body shop, and they told me that it was going to be roughly 6,000 dollars to fix. how dangerous can this be? is it safe for me to drive the car? both airbags have been deployed already in a previous accident and have yet to be serviced. also, the frame of the driver's seat is bent. how bad is this? please give me your honest detailed opinions.

 

it is ok to drive around the local streets as a dd...but i wont try any performance mods on the car... or on high speed highway drive
the frame and structure has been damaged as u mentioned.. does it have a rebuilt title or ?

 

how much did you pay for the car? i would just part it out.

 

I would not invest a cent in that car, or try to go fast in it either...

paid 2.5k, salvaged title.....*sigh*

 

Wow. $6000 can almost get you a 99/2000 SI clean title.

 

any other opinions are greatly appreciated

Did the seller make you aware of the extensive frame damage? 2.5k for a car with that much damage... iono

 

honest....

well if you payed more the $10 for it then you got jiped

but what kind of motor does it have in it...?

and if you want to you can buy a better 96-98 and use this one as a parts car...

 

I was totally unaware of the damage. It has a D16y7 in it.

I would have a talk with the seller and get him to take it back. He should have made you aware of the extensive damage along with the fact that its a salvaged vehicle. 6k in frame damage is something you dont hide.

Ummm, yeah. A few years back when my (at the time) g-f rear ended me, the TOTAL damage was only about 6k, and that's frame time, parts, labor, etc. If you had no knowledge of the frame damage, then you need to get your money back. Heck, I am trying to selly my '97 coupe for $3-4k and it drives and looks great.

2,500, you really got ripped off. i paid only 500 for my hatch and all it need was a motor. even after buying the motor it still didnt reach 2,500.

Did you drive to the shop? If you did get a second opinion. In the mean time, get some bail money together, afterwhich I would drive that ****** into the sellers livingroom. That's just me I'm violent like that.
