Yeah, I bet it sucks to see your baby being sold off. It sold for a very high price. I bet the buyer was not told it was salvaged for that price. Do the brake rotors look extremely small to anyone else?

You should have been given the first option to buy it back when settling with the insurace company...$$$ in your hand and still have the car for a few hundred $.I did this when my daughter totaled her (err my) 95 Prelude Si. Just asked if I could keep it. They sold it back to me for a couple hundred...took it off the insurance payoff to me. Simple as that. Had to wait for the new salvaged title.
Always keep your totalled car...you don't have to give it to the insurance company.

It says it was 89k miles in 2002. Strange there were no mileage recordings for such a long time. I don't have the whole report in front of me, but from that, it doesn't look like it was rolled back.

I lost so much money on that piece of junk, about $8,000.

Mike this appears to be one of those car lots for people with bad credit and no knowledge of the car business, the ad disclosed no price only x amount down and x amount every month for the rest of your life, there's one born every minute and always someone waitng to take full advantage.
