I think this is a great deal...but I a little suspicious about the low
price. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or not, just want to be sure there
isn't any fraud involved. I'm going to go see it tomorrow, and I'm already
pre-approved for $15,000 from my bank!

2002 Civic EX Coupe with 25,669 miles for $12,888.

I really want this car...

I would carfax and get a tech to give it a good once over.

It still has it's factory warranty left. I'd spend the $100 or so and have
a mechanic who knows Hondas or a local dealer go thru it.
A CarFax report will give you origins of the car and a history of ownership.
It isn't accurate and reliable enough to give its accident history, as it
relies on other parties to provide that information.....and they usually
don't. You can also find out if its been a repo.....in which case, don't
buy. The price is definitely worthy of a potential purchase.
Good luck!

What's wrong with the car being repo.? Basicly the owner 'couldn't make the
payments'

I wouldn't buy it if the title been branded rebuilt or something to that
effect.

Make sure that you confirm if this car has been involved in a
collision and has been rebuilt. A few things that I picked up on from
the photos that indicate a "potentially" rebuilt car.

1.The air bag on the steering wheel is a different colour then the
actual steering wheel.

2.The front bumper does not appear to have any stone chips or bug
stains (likely a sign that it has been repainted.

If it has been rebuilt, it is likely still a good car but you have to
be cautious of gremilns.

I ran a Carfax report and everything looked ok I think. It was registered as
a corporate lease vehicle and then a commercial vehicle.

I going to go get it checked out on Saturday, and then hopefully buy it.

Thanks for the input.

A good way to tell if it was accidented or repainted:
- looks at the seams(gap)should be mostly the same all around
-Is the bumpers are lining up with the fenders?
-Look under at the frame(for wrinkle metal)
-Also ckeck all trims for overspray of paint
As Sebastian said it is weird that the air bag is not matching the sterring
wheel.As for chips on the bumpers it is still a farly new car(with
25xxx)witch i think should be in good condition(not new looking)
Well i wish you luck with the car

Is a rebuilt car worth that price? It's a couple thousand cheaper than it's
supposed to be.

The dealer totally denied that the car was in an accident. I asked him about
the bumper and airbag, and he didn't know what I was talking about (of
course.)

I'll let my mechanic know when he does the inspection.
