Car has been in two major wrecks in 2012 and 2014. Carfax is a scam and I wish folks would stop using them. Dealers use them for a reason...

Interesting, care to post a copy of the report? I'm kinda interested in what would come up with my VIN.

This is the one, jump on it. That price is fantastic for the years, miles are a little higher but no big deal. And with the '06+ ECU it's much easier to tune for the turbo with a Hondata Flashpro than the pre-'06 cars.

That one has a rebuilt title. If you search its VIN on google you'll see pictures of it when it was at the salvage yard. Front frame rails were bent/crushed and the passenger side strut tower seems pushed in as well. With that amount of damage that car's price is not in 5 digits.

I didn't even notice the rebuilt part on the craigslist add. I feel stupid now.

if it sounds too good of a deal it's either previously wrecked, it's about to blow up or the seller is having a baby.
