Default k20/rsx decisions...HELP HELP HELP!!

Alright, i've got a chance to pick up a crashed 2002 RSX, for 1500$.

It's a base RSX, 74,000miles, needs front end, and somewhat of a frame (prob. radiator frame, etc) welded on. Most of that I can take care of myself. So that is not a big deal.

The guy says the motor is out of the car, and I want to know if I should just go ahead and buy the car, and see if it runs..lol.

I asked to have him drop in the motor to see if it runs, but let's just say it's up in the air.

I don't know whether or not to get it.


Also, would I be able to insure a salvage/rebuildable title or is this just more than i am asking for??

Unless you have a lot of money and patience available in generous amounts...I would say its more than a handful.

If you feel like you can handle it then by all means go for it.

more than likely, yes. Esp since he's already taken the motor out of the car.

Im trying to find someone who DOES have the time and money to fix the car. people repair salvage cars all the time, its not a job for an unexperienced person of course.

yeah Id part it if anything BUT, calculate time of pulling it apart & checking pms & etc etc. Iv parted a few cars & if it isnt a hell of a deal I wont touch it. If you need some parts off it & could come out on top then go for it but, rebuilding it is a hassle.
