okay, well i'm bout to buy a 95 civic ex, but i dont know if it has been in any accidents or anything. is there a way to find this out besides carfax because I don't really think it's worth it paying 15 bux for a single report. any help would be great. thanks

when i was looking for me del sol, the first step was to test drive it and make sure it tracks correctly. this means making sure you arent pointed one way, but actually driving another. the next is to look at the tires and make sure they are wearing evenly. from there you take it to the dealership to get a diagnostics test on it. tell them you are thinking of buying it and want to know everything that is wrong with it. they can usually tell what parts haved been changed out or repaired from an accident, along with anything else wrong with it. from there you decide whether to buy the car or not.

if your actually serious about buying the car 15 isnt too much too spend...another thing is you should definetly take the car to a mechanic of your choice and have compression tests done...... good luck

I'd spend the $15, seems cheap enough, and take it to your mech for sure....

Lets see... spend $15 and possibly catch some flood / accident damage

Or not pay it and get ripped the hell off... hmmm, $15 sounds like good insurance to me.
