Ok I am very close to buying a 2000 Civic Si. It's EBP with a spoiler, CD, and only 23k miles... selling for 12 grand.

Now I know that is a phenominal price, at least for my area, but I've never been huge into B16's and I'm wondering what could/should stop my from buying this car?

It's all stock by the way, but it has a salvage title, can someone help me out?

 

Good cars... You can hit 15.0 with a couple mods. I love mine.

 

ClubSI.com..you`ll be one of them. That should top you.

Seriously, it`s a good car. Go for it if you want it.

I think its overpriced for a salvage title. Just remember if you ever try to re-sell you will be taking a major hit...

 

oh damn 12k and salvaged? No thanks. I didn`t notice it was slavaged. You can probably find a 99 Si w/ a clean title for that amount.

 

other than the above.....heaviest damn 6th gen.....2575.

 

Yeah, salvage titled cars aren't worth it in the end. Get a fresh start.

 

heh I loved my Si when I had it. But its what you want...personally I would go with an eg hatch with a swap

 

better performance, better financial decision, less annoyance from ricers, looks better (imo), 5-lug conversion and Tein's and you'll outhandle God, I could go on but you get the point.

 

i would never spend that much on a salvaged title.

 

bring that to the attention of the seller..a salvage title tell s u there was pretty major damage to the car and probably not straight 10k maybe if i was really horny for the car

 

I second the vote for a hb with a swap....and with that budget you can get one thats had the engine built, turbo, all-motor, whatever you want....I say screw the car with the salvaged title, you never know what its been through. If you are set on a 99-00 si, atleast get a clean one.

 

Get the vin # and have someone with carfax run it for you to see why its salvaged. But as mentioned above, its a pig.

 

if u get it get and alarm....mines been stolen 3 times. if everything checks out i say go for it...

 

It makes a nice daily driver. I have a 99 Si as my 2nd car and its been treating me fairly well. But damn for 12k and salvaged.. ****... I would sell you mines for 12k if you are interested and mines is super clean.

 

just a few thoughts, no torque, heavy, too much money, salvaged title. that should b enough to convince u.

 

thats not a good price for a salvage title car.

 

That's too much for a car with a salvage title. You should be able to find a good deal on one without a salvage title.

 

what he and everyone in this thread said.

 

my dream car! with an eg in the garage

 

if you buy it, YOUR manhood will fall off, no kidding...

 

do you know WHY it is salvaged? it was stolen, i can bet on that. and it WILL get stolen again. i had 00 SI, for about a month, had it stolen, and said no thanks.
...now if you find a drivertrain from a 00SI...

id say go for it ...its a nice car..i think the color is kinda tacky looking cause its played out but the car is nice....if it wasnt salvaged it would be a good price ...but for that money you can do better...

 

Like everyone else says, salvage title = ESPECIALLY for that price...

I understand why salvaged titles are bad, but what about rebuilt ones? Are those just as bad? I was looking at a car and the title says it's rebuilt but it looks ok and it's against the law to sell a car with a compromised frame so it can't be too bad... or can it? I dont know what it takes to have a rebuilt title... I'm lost here or am I just being stupid... again...

 

12grand for a salvaged si is definitely not worth it. A 2yr old car needs to go through some pretty bad damage to get a salvage title. Dont rush into anything and get ripped off.

Good Luck.
