The frame looks straight. Roll it over, refill the radiator, and see if it starts. If it does, rock it for another 100K miles like any other Honda.

actually i was thinking the same thing, as long as it wasnt left running while it was upside down, it might be okay

The radiator is ruined. The top of the car frame is bent down. All doors are stuck or out of alienment. Engine does still start and run. But it has 198k miles on it. Car will be scraped today.

Why not try and part out interior pieces? You could make a a lil money from that lol.
I would post it on craiglist or something.


How did you get it to flip like that?

Seriously, there are some salvageable parts on there. Part it out for more money. Wheels/tires, if in good shape, could be worth $200. (if they weren't damaged in the rollover, lol.) The junk yard will give you $250 or so for the whole car.

I went a little wide and fast around a turn. The right side went up a little dirt hill that was about 3' high. It just flipped from that.

Theres a guy that might come by that offers $375 min. for any car and in any cond. I already removed all the the stero equipment, fog lights, and spoiler to be sold.
