We thought about an Impreza (two of those vins are GR imprezas) but they get slightly worse mileage than she wants (she'll be working in PC starting on Monday... 55 mile drive each day) and they are still a bit more expensive than an equal year Civic with fewer miles. She found plenty of sub 30k, 2006+ Civics for less than 12 when she just looked around a few hrs ago.
any car that has a slavaged title wont have a warranty. yeah if she is gonna be driving that much everyday i would buy a civic and especially a car with a warranty. honda is the only car that i can think of that gets the best mileage out of anything else. maybe a jetta but then again, they have lots of problems. so i guess your choices are pretty slim.... good luck.

salvage doesnt always mean new parts. dealers try to get the cheapest parts available, like i said there always trying to make money. you never know who did all the work or if they did good work at that.

Jake, have her get an RSX, cheap semi luxury Can get up to 28mpg with the right driver. I've seen some pretty cheap ones too. I sold my base RSX for 8,900 with 95k though.

You can tell for yourself if the work is done right, all you have to do is look the car over very well. And yes that means crawling under it. Lines matching etc.

I just got home from wheelin. Not too much mud yet, but I found some nice water holes that would make EXCELLENT mud bogs if they were on dirt and not gravel. On of em I crawled into to figure out how deep it was and water was walf way from the bottom of the door to the window (about bottom of the seat). Too bad it washed off all the mud that was on my truck, now its just dirt brown with no clumps all over the place

Any tips on buying a salvage title car? Bad idea? Good idea? Hmmm... We've now found 3 cars (well possibly three) that she likes but are salvage
Don't buy one that says OTHER Other could mean FLOOD, THEFT, DEATH IN THE CAR, or anything else lol. If its just a accident I would get it.

Because you can save so much buying salvage that is pretty much how I do and will buy cars

Yep always find out what happened and etc.

If its a Insurance Job, new car that still has a warranty and a Dealer is doing it. They have to do the JOB with all OEM parts. If they dont then Its against the law. They are suppose to always use OEM stuff. If a shop is doing a job with out using OEM then They get in trouble. The only time they can and should use cheaper aftermarket is for a Customer on a none insurance JOB and people that choice to do it them selves to save money.

Always check Door Jams for paint lines and check each panel for a slightly different color in the paint and finish. Also on lots of Evos most of the parts like hood, trunk, bumpers and fenders all have the original VIN on them. Eric's car actually didn't have the original fenders on it they where still OEM but No VIN so the car had been in a wreck before he got it. That is probably why it had the CF hood too.

fo sho I had a good spot in St George just before I moved up here perfect for partying and well did party there for a year but it was just a rental and I didn't wanna be in St George anymore

There's some pretty cool houses up here and best thing about SLC is that I swear all houses have basements...that's FTW
