Personally, I would have restored that 96 ish Impala SS in the background...but going against the grain on fixing cars instead of simply trashing them, congrats!!!!!!!!!
News flash: When someone buys a car, normal people like me...we don't care about the value. All I need is a A --> B car that runs and drives. I don't care about re-selling it, or what that worthless piece of garbage "KBB" says it is worth. If it makes me happy, then what's the harm in that? Here in Indiana, you can drive any car with any amount of damage you want, so long as it has certain things. Mirriors, at least one taillight or headlight, windshield, seatbelts...doors are optional.
@SeberHusky lol right then I rather take the bus than drive a car this messed up even if restored. Anyways you lose at the end because any dealer will give you $500 for that thing. I had one 2003 EX-V6 HFP Coupe with 6 speed manual and 200,00km on it and still got $7000 for it which you will never get for a salvage title.
I know here in Ontario Canada, a car with a salvage title, the licenced collision shop would have to do structual inspecton, I think you have to have at least 4 photos of the area where the damage was, 4 wheel alignment. There might be something else I'm forgetting, oh and safety inspection along with emission testing, then on the ownership it'll say rebuilt title
Nice job on the rebuild. I wish I was that good. Don't worry there will always be someone to give you crap because they are not as good as you. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Nice job on the rebuild. I wish I could do it that well. Don't worry, its always going to be someone to give you crap because they are not as good. keep up the good work!!
nice rebuild very happy to see that someone will take the time and put the quality into rebuilding a good Honda i had a 4 door v6 this vid makes me miss it even more now that its gone
Anywhere from a couple hundred, to a couple thousand. Depends on where you buy it from, and what the car is. You get a Ferrari, you'll pay an arm and a leg. You get a Ford F-150, and you can buy a few of them for a song.
The only problem is......it now has a salvage title. Frame damage. I bet you are looking at a book value, thinking you got an accord 2 door at a good price. It's worth half of book. No dealer would ever take it on trade, and only a fool would buy it from you. Been a dealer for 45 years. The first thing we do when appraising a trade is scan the barcode and run a carfax. Enjoy the car. you still have it and will for a long time.
@doug5790 What you said applies to higher end vehicles with R title. Plenty of people will buy this from a private seller for $2-2.5k under book value. This car was sold couple months after the restoration and i made good money on it same with 5 other reconstructed cars that followed this accord. If its done right and new genuine parts are used after checking with buyers mechanic people dont have a problem paying a little less for a good car with R title that they plan to keep for a long time.
@arbachu exactly, looks awesome. who cares if its been wrecked and repaired. i bet alot of people are driving cars right now that dont even know they've been wrecked
@arbachu; It really depends upon where you're from. In LA, most of the Armenians driving expensive cars bought them with R titles and did half-assed jobs restoring them, so you'll see what was an $80k Benz or a $40k Infiniti with primer on them and cheap aftermarket front & rear ends, still with massive dents in the sides, etc...
In Chicago it was a different story, you'd rarely see anything like that.
This isn't a slight on Armenians, just ask anyone here and they'll say the same.
@doug5790 As long as the car is fixed correctly, who cares about the salvage title? Anyone buying this car knows it's value is far below retail and as long as he is selling it privately and discloses it...what's the issue? It's a Honda! Run it to 300K!
How are the road manners, though? Vibrations, shakes? How about at higher speeds (100+ mph)? The easy part is fixing the non-intregal stuff. It is much harder if you have structural issues to fix! So THAT is what you have to watch out for.
wow i only do this every day. and they usually fuck up the bottoms of the car when they use the forks like that to pick them up 50% of the time the exhaust is bent to fuck. thats why you get ones with rear-end damage easier to fix and they still drive
i just did the same to a 01 monte carlo that was totaled but i got to it before the salvage title did so im gonna make out on it pretty good i also have an 07 accord ex just like that one bought it brand new but urs looks better than mine cause mine is just bone stock what type of grill is that and what type of rims are those and one last question did you paint it yourself
Awesome job arbachu on the restoration! I'd love to get a project car for cheap to restore. You're prolly all over V6P and DriveAccord, huh? It's been a year, any problems with the frame alignment, weirdness, etc after the resurrection?
Absolutely phenomenal job man. It would've been so easy to let that car die, but you managed to restore it to the point where it is one of the few attractive accords I have ever seen. Congrats!
i wish i could fix cars :((((..id love to buy a salvage and fix it but growning uup in the city i know absolutley NOTHING about cars....mass transit every where i went :(((
that looks freakin awesome! wow! if you dont mind me asking how much did the car cost you and how much to fix it all? i dont have a license for auctioins yet so i usually just buy cars from people for cheap but theyre never as nice as this one
@xScHwInNBMXx down here in bama it only cost $150 if you have a proper licenses to get a salvage vehicle inspected and changed to a rebuilt title so you can drive it legally on the road.
