hey everyone im looking at buying a 1991 honda crx with 160,000 miles at an used car dealership. i got a carfax report for it and it says it was in an accident in 1998 and was given a salvaged title. i figured that since it was 9 years ago and since its in good condition and im only paying 1000 for it, i should go ahead and buy it. is this a good decision?

A salvage title means it was totaled! Then someone repaired and sold it! Make sure you know what your getting to!
