questions on buying a Salvage 2012 TSX
Hello guys Im new here
I've been looking for a TSX for a while and found a dealer selling a 2012 TSX but its has a salvage title ... now I've never owned a salvage car before but the guys in the dealer seem like they know what they are doing when repairing this cars they even gave me pictures of the car before been fixed by them ... the car only has about 45k miles ... ill leave the before and after pictures of the car here and I would like to hear what you guys think of it and hopefully ill come to a decision if I should buy it or not .... Also they are asking $10,999 for it but they said they can work with me on the price ...
and here are the ones after been fixed============================================= ===============

I know it's been fixed...however; you can grab a non-wrecked car for $11k.
the salvaged titled car in question in no way shape or form is a deal. you're paying the same amount of money as a non-wrecked one...
IF the salvaged titled car was $3-5k cheaper than a regular non-wrecked car, I'd CONSIDER the salvaged titled. but alas, there is no deal to be had here.

so you would rather buy a fucked up salvaged titled car than a car with 100k miles...?
I understand it was fixed. I crashed my car and had it fixed. it's as good as new.
just why would you buy a salvaged title when there are non-wrecked cars that are either cheaper or the same price as the salvaged titled?
the logic doesnt make sense

you would also have to look at your insurance...some states dont or wont cover or have less coverage for salvaged titled cars.
at $11k, i'd assume you would have to finance...?
a bank WILL require full coverage on the vehicle...because ya know they would want their money back incase something were to happen.
so, right off the bat...it's not a good deal.
unless the car was like $3-5k and you could pay in cash...I'd entertain the idea...but financing an $11k car with a salvaged title is not a deal.

Price is high, but here is my take on salvage titles. Depends on the wreck. On a Lotus Elise the clamshell is so expensive that insurance companies just write it off. It's just cosmetic so you can decide how pretty you want your car to be. On the other hand any car with frame damage can be a problem. Properly repairing a frame and getting aligned is very difficult. Your car seems like it's inbetween. If it drives well and you trust the shop then it's worth the gamble. Just not at that price.

Alright I see ... and yes I would be buying cash I dont wanna finance... also the dealer was willing to go down in price to 9500 on it but I just declined after hearing what you guys had to say dont wanna lose money ...

I am sure they will gladly sell it for $13.5-14K. I would put down $10K and finance the rest for 5 years and $100 per month.

That car had some serious damage. Could it be repaired, (AS GOOD AS NEW) NEVER-NEVER-NEVER. Even if I bought that car through an insurance auction, and repaired it myself, I wouldn't want to own it!

For some reason, body shops can NEVER get headlight alignment right.
