Looking for an Ap2 for the weekends and use the civic for my daily.

40k miles, 2nd owner, $8k.

Would you buy a repaired salvage with all new OEM parts with the following damage.......

What in the world is hovering over the trunk attached to the rear of the soft top?

I'm not a big fan of buying salvage titled cars. The damage doesn't look too bad actually. Front/Rear bumpers, fender, and then suspension damage. It might be a good pick-up for the mechanically inclined willing to turn it into a track car.

MAYBE $5k-6....but I personally wouldn't get involved with a mess like that. Probably more of a headache than it's worth.

Probably the right front fender.

And no, to the OP's question. No I would not buy that. A clean title AP1 is easy enough to find via Craigslist for fairly few moneys.

It aint bad. I would do it for $5500 if you can jew him down to that go for it. But only if you plan on using it as a track car, most likely wont make money on it.

I wouldn't but I don't see how that's relevant to your decision.

car looks like ap2 04 or 05 by looking at the ap2v1 wheels. i wouldn't buy it... i don't even wanna guess the repair cost. plus u'll be stuck with salvage repair title.

with around $8000, i would look for ap1 with higher mileage.
