Default Salvage S

would anyone ever buy a salvage S2000 for a really good price? Im looking at an 05, everything checks out fine but carfax says ( Vehicle overturned upon impact
with a fixed object) .

What are the things i need to check. My family have owned a salvage civic for 6 years, and its been running fine.

thank you.

i guess that you would want to make sure that there is no frame damage... and that everything works...

do you mean that the car flipped, or what, bause i would never buy a car that had flipped... but my first car was a salvage, but in an s, thats looking for trouble... and just make sure its not a scam, cause they have found that a lower price, they get twice as many bites, and the salvage makes it believable...

What's the price difference? is it really worth it? I personally wouldn't purchase a car that overturned on impact.

if you're serious about the purchase check for frame damage and/or get the car checked out by a professional mechanic.

If you ever plan on selling it don't buy the salvage S.

Overturned means oil wasn't where it was supposed to be.

So was the engine running after the impact and for how long?

Unless it's half price it isn't worth the risk, plus there's the fact that you will have a very limited market when you go to sell.
