Would you guys consider this a good deal?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...QQcmdZViewItem

no bad deal!!!! salvage title is not just given for minor damage! i suggest Never buy salvage!!!!

no salvage is junk it might look nice but it will drive terrible

I have to agree with the other two guys dont buy it it looks nice my friend got one a while back he had no clue about it and when he went to the DMV he had to go to a shop and have them redo all the wiring in the car and he had to take the receipt saying the job was done my mom told me my dad got one a long time ago like probably the 70s and that back then they had to call the CHP to go look at the car once they fixed the problem with it so think about it

Junk!!The only reason that a car that new would be given a salvage title is if the frame is bent.Problems with a bent frame..Shaking at speedCar wont track in a strait lineEating tires quickly due to them not being perfectly true and strait.The car does look nice, but it will be nothing but trouble!

id buy... it has the power of a vtec lol looks fine to mine but i buy vechiles with salvage titles for spear parts lol.. if it where to be a daily driver i would have to test drive it and see how it would cost to get insured.... i think you can fill out paper work to get salvage removed from the title if i rember correctly

Run from this one!A car that new with a salvage title? That was no minor accident. Even without the salvage title - all that existing body damage would keep me away.

It might be; what you need to consider is that the vehicle is only issued a salvage title after an insurance company determines the vehicle to be a total loss. Now, considering how we all know insurance companies don't like to pay; you have to consider this as a factor in purchasing any salvage titled vehicle.In some states, a vehicle can be issued a "rebuilt" title, if its inspected and repaired to a high standard. Still, a vehicle with a "rebuilt" title will sell at a discount to Kelly Blue Book values in all states.You need to have the vehicle inspected by two sources; one a body shop with a frame rack specialist and two by a Honda specialist. In the body shop case, they need to confirm that the body work and frame (subframe or unit construction) is in factory specification. You cannot see visually whether or not a "frame" is in factory specification (unless its way out, in which case you know the car is no good) and unless you're a body person, you don't know if the body work is of an acceptable standard and won't cause problems later.The Honda specialist will check the vehicle operation, look at the wiring in the engine compartment, check that the connections for hoses and wiring are routed correctly and that nothing is missing or damaged. In nearly 30 years in this business, all of it in dealership service departments, I've nearly seen everything. You will have to spend at least 3-4 hours of shop time to have the vehicle inspected to standard that will reduce the possible issues of problems later.It will be worth it. I have personally inspected many vehicles over the years and have only found a couple that I would be comfortable in driving or purchasing; a few that I have seen were so unsafe, I had to have the customer sign a statement that I told them the vehicle shouldn't be driven on the road and ought to be towed out.You should also call your insurance company; speak to an agent or better yet an adjuster to find out if your company will insure the vehicle or not and to help you determine what the true value of the vehicle is.Though all of this make take some time; consider the alternative, loss of money on the good side, possible injury or even death by driving an unsafe vehicle.If you cannot spend the time or money, then the smart thing to do is pass on the vehicle. Salvage vehicles are often bought by people interested only in a quick buck, not your safety or the safety of others. Like I said, I've only seen a couple of vehicles that were repaired to a "like new standard" in all the years I've been in this business.I hope this helps, a car nut.

wow you found nearly new used junk

its a nice car, i actually have one myself ..those pics look like my 06 not 07..but anyways, ya salvage titles are junk and would be more of a hassle then anything else...Thats an awesome price if it were in perfect condition
