You are right. :thumbup:

I didn't even catch the fact that it is not a GSR at all. The engine is a B18B, the wheels are RS wheels, the front bumper is 94-97 style. I guess the price is deceiving and they are advertising it for something it isn't. Since it is an LS or RS, don't even waste your time. Sounds like a lemon.

How does one go about clearing a salvaged title? I thought this was something that couldn't be removed?

Yup , the first thing I noticed was that it's not a GSR. Good eyes akord 97! So if the owner doesn't even know what the hell car he/she is selling, then it's not "worth it".

Some people are quite happy with their LS or RS and wouldn't consider it a waste of time. Having a faster model teg isn't important to everyone.

Negative on that ghostrider! I would never swap a pefectly sound motor.
You know that Doug turned you into a JDM trendwhore.
Also wasn't it you that told me that you miss your LS ,even though you have a GSR now with a conversion.

Yeah, but that's a B18B under the hood. (It's a GSR in name & VIN only.)
I'll bet you anything it's got a salvage title due to theft. :a:

Keep on looking.

I'm not bagging on the LS/RS, but I wouldn't pay that much for a LS that claims to be a GSR with a guaranteed salvage title and a non matching bumper. IF it were a grand cheaper, it may be a good deal.
