Keep your car Tuan... or find a better deal, different car, if you really want to trade.

 

no salvaged titles

 

yea... if it wasnt salvaged title i'd say go for it.

 

ok.. i think imma keep it then... Irvin find me a straight trade.. i want to get rid of it .. i dont care if i get a bone stock Hf . but prefer crx thanks for the reply guys...

 

Why not? Are they bad?

 

check the word salvage in the dictionary usually they don't drive completely straight and who wants a car that has been totaled or something of those sorts.
although I have to admit, I owned a salvage and flood titled car(kid was asking 4k, I did a carfax check and got the car for $1,700 )

 

so legally, there are no problems getting one insured or taged?

 

my old car how nice trade it away.

 

Getting it titled wouldnt be hard if it already passed an inspection could differ from state to state though. I know up here if I bought one with a salvage title it I would have to take it down and get an inspection that takes quite awhile and they are extremely picky littl;e things like brake light not coming on when parking break is engaged to the horn not working would make it fail. Plus you have to have all documents stating that the frame is straight and hasnt been fixed in some sort of way.

 

There are all kinds of reasons why a car gets a salvage title. It could be a theft recovery with no damage to the car. It could be for a blown engine the insurance company didn't want to replace because it was more $$ than the car is worth. And obviously because of a crash. So look carefully, the car might be OK and worth the trade. You can get a salvaged title car insured in all 50 states. It's a federal thing.
My CRX HF got a certificate of destruction, much worse than a unrebuildable title.
But because the car is worth less than $1500 retail it can be retitled with a salvage
title. The funny thing is that the car is absolutely mint! All the body panels are original. The car has never been hit. the engine blew and the insurance co. didn't want to pay for a new one and decided to destroy the car. I couldn't let that happen. I feel like I rescued it from the dog pound.

 

There's this maroon 91 CRX Si by my sisters house in South San Fran., clean and tight...only drawback, its an Automatic...He wants $3500 but I'm sure he'll give it away for $3K, good motor, clean interior, AC...I can take a pic if you like. It was his daily driver until he bought a new car.

did the si's come in automatic, i didn't think they did.

 

The only model in the states that came with an auto is a DX.
