Copart Manual Cl...... Couple Qs

Well browsing on copart, I saw this nice 2003 Acura Cl type-s Manual .. Doesn't look like a lot of damage, but there are some things that are leaving me curious.. Firs of all it says "Engine Start Program" I think the engine maybe starts but does not drive? Idk you tell me.. Also after researching, I have found out that they are interference engines .. IDk could this impact really cause some bent valves?? I don't want to deal with engines, due to I just want to buy and sell cars for profit.. PLz answer my question.. Thank you.

That might not bother anyone here looking for a 6 speed swap.
But to tell you the truth.
If this is something that you really want and there a chance not too many people would've see the auction.
You posted this in the wrong place at the wrong time.
See you at the auction.

Oh... and you have to have a license to enter the auction.. (that means you have to have dealer, business, etc) ... So why don't you choke on this too..

Don't get your panties in a bunch.
But don't think I could'nt touch it.
My family is in the buisness I could make it happen.
I really don't care if you get the car or not.. there are other cars im interested in too .. I was just asking a question if such an impact would cause some bent valves?

All Honda motors are interference motors. You should do some research if you want to flip cars for a living. Otherwise youre going to get in over your head very quickly.

Another tip for flipping cars - choose cars that have decent resale value. This particular CL appears to need about $4k in repairs (I could be very wrong on that though). Even if you buy it for $3k, thats $7k into a car worth $9k with a clean title. Since it has a salvage title, the value drops. I wouldnt spend a nickle over $5k for a salvaged 6MT, no matter how well it was put back together. And there isn't much of a market for a CL. If you want cars that would appeal to most, look at Civics, Accords, Integras, Camrys, Altimas, etc.
