I was wondering if $6000 is a good deal for this 1998 Honda Civic EX with Sunroof and power everything (45,000 plus miles) ... If someone can run the VIN for me...that would be great... here's the VIN 1HGEJ8146WL066421.

Don't bother the EX is too damn heavy.
Why do you want that one anyway?

 

Actually I just want a reliable car that I can use to go places. I'm not thinking of swapping any engines on this car, just a daily driver.

Im new, but wth is with that air intakes filter? looks like a big ole melon.

 

That air intake in a HKS Filter, the rest is custom and way too small pipping!!!

 

That is a very good deal for an ex. I sold my 98 ex for $11,000.

Accident CARFAX receives information on accidents in several states when an official police report is filed. CARFAX does not receive accident information from every state.
Salvage Auction Record Vehicles classified as "totaled" by insurance companies are often sold at auction to be reconstructed and put back on the road.
Salvage/Junk Title States issue salvage titles when an insurance company takes possession of a vehicle as a result of a claim. This generally occurs after a vehicle has been declared a total loss. States issue junk titles to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.

 

I can email you the thing if you want me 2

 

That would be great if you can send me the whole report. Maybe then I can lowball the guy. Do you think its a good deal even if its a salvage title? I've checked the car personally and it shows that it's been rear ended and fixed. It shouldn't affect the dynamics of the car, should it?

 

If it was done properly it shouldn't affect it.

 

i have a reconstructed car and it's straight

 

thanks for the quick response. Now all I really have to do is think about the price.

 

still way too much to pay for a car thats been total d..total d cars are never the same again..no matter how well its been put back together *even if its a honda*
