Ok im buying a new car. Its a 1999 Teg w/ 34k miles all power leather etc. But it has front end damage. Just the hood and bumper and fenders which I will replace w/ aftermarket stuff anyways. But heres my question, how do I get to get a regular title? If it means anything I live in FL. This is just too good of a deal to pass up. THANKS!

 

I wouldn't buy it. It may be a good deal but hell it could have had really bad frame damage or been a flood car or some ****. I had a Taures a year ago and it was a salvage and drove horrible.

 

I'd consider it if there isnt any frame damage. fenders and bumpers are repalceable but the frame is key. Fix it up and get a clear title. Keep your reciepts.

Good luck.

BTW, shouldn't this be in the Integra forum?

 

It probly drove horrible 'cause it was a Taurus, not 'cause it was salvage.

 

Get a JDM front end for that sumbitch. Yeah, it's easy to get a salvage title cleared in Florida. Just get the car fixed and when you go in to register it they may want to inspect it, but the new title that is issued to you won't say Salvaged on it. The carfax history will still be bad though.

 

i would never put my money into a salvaged car (50 bucks maybe). you just dont know if the integrity of the car has been damaged and/or fixed. maybe get the alignment checked out.. inspect the suspension components THOROUGHLY, especially the crossmember. as with any car, inspect every detail as meticulously as possible, dont worry about what the owner thinks. also get a leakdown/compression test done before purchase. good luck

 

Jack the car up.

Look under for any frame damage.

 

my friend bought 98 integra that was fucked up in the front, the frame was all bent, suspension was all fucked up....and it had a clean title, no report on carfax.com........youll never know.

Honestly if the frame isnt bent thats a good deal
