salvage cars aren't that bad. Just depends on how bad they're crashed. Shoot, a car gets stolen and recovered; considered salvage. Not bad at all, just a title. I like salvage cars and have driven many of my friends', no problems at all. Didnt even know it was until they told me. It's up to you though. Nice little teg vs. Civic w/ Swap. They are the same years and all...... If it was a 98+, I'd tell you to scoop it up right then and there. But yeah, GSR's are good cars and PULL HARD!
