Whether or not there could be a problem with the title, you are still looking at a car that has been in a serious accident, and how can you know how well it was repaired? A tainted title should give

Hard to say for sure. Collision shops have done things as radical as weld a front half and back half together around the center, through the B-pillars, etc. That's *not* I car I would want, or would

Typically, it means that it sustained 75% of its value in damage. If the airbags went off, it wouldn't take much actual damage to go well over that. (Probably 2000 or 3000 dollars to fix the airbags

My guess is that the loan company may not give you a loan on a salvage / reconstructed vehicle. I also wouldn't pay anything like market value for a salvage title vehicle... People are scared of the

And if you are into the "Buy American" thing, the Civic is built in Ohio. Suprisingly, it looks like the Cavaliers are, too. Was guessing the econo-box Chevys were Mexican. The car-faxes I've seen do
