Honda Car Forum

hi,

I am planning to buy a civic 98. Junk title has beeb issued to that
car. I saw the car, the engine in good shape but some body work
requires. I am guessing it would be around 500-600 $ with used
parts. The damage in on the passenger side. I am planning to show
this car to mechanic to check the allignments and engine. My
question, is it worth buying that car with 50 % mark down. also for
the insurance, Am I going to pay more due to junk title? how hard to
resell that car after 2-3 years. Also, I am planning to get
before/after photos of the car to show the future buyers.

Thanks

Actually, that is incorrect. A junk or salvage can go on the road
again, it just takes a little more proof when you go to have it
inspected. I have a buddy with two trucks, one has a junked and one
has a salvage title. He plans on driving them until they can't be
driven anymore, because mainly it is almost impossible (not totally
impossible, but next to it) to sell a car with a junk/salvage title.
He doesn't pay any more in insurance, but no insurance company will
give you more thank liability against those titles usually.
