I didnt buy it from a salvage yard, bought it from a friends front yard

needed new front, hood, quarter panels, cvjoints...etc.

i understand that you bought it off your friend but, didn't he gotten into an accident or what ever and the insurance made it official that the prelude is salvage....

If you're going to sell the car wrecked, why would you even report it wrecked to your insurance?

He wrecked it and I believe our friend with an integra pulled it to his house

He didn't hit another car if that's what your thinking.. was more of a ditch type encounter.. poor prelude wasn't made for muddin'

I work and (kinda) own a wrecking yard, got my lude for about 2g wrecked, fixed for another grand... it was salvaged but now under the "recondition" vehicle list...

if a car is salvaged most insurance companys wont insure it unless ur "reconditioned"

SiR-P12eLude · 06-15-2002, 03:54 PM

what does reconditioned means..... i heard about that insurance won't insure a salvage vehicle... and too soopaswooze... if you got into an accident regardless it's your fault or not you should report it to get your car fixed... unless you only have liabillity... which you shouldn't get at teh first place...

Speaking of salvage titles, after I bought my CRX, I did a carfax and discovered it had a salvage title in the state of Georgia, but Florida gave it a clean title. Now, seeing as it's my project car, it's not being insured until it's going to be driven. Do you think my insurance company will insure it? Like I said, clean title here, salvage title from Georgia in 1991 (it's a '90). It's in MINT condition- no frame damage, no dents no rust, brand new interior, everything. I bought it for $250 off some dude who was selling it because the motor had rod knock. Talk about a good deal. What do you guys think?

good deal..... i'll buy it for 350 ahah
