Default Just got my first car and civic!

'01 EX man transmission, $6300. Its got an AEM intake of a blue color, i really dont know what it is other than reading whats on it. Kinda brand new to all this car stuff. Needs some body work, axle alignment is off in the front. Clear coating is chipping on the hood. rusting paint on the top of the trunk. Windshield was replaced when i bought it. apparently its got a clean title, i dont know how it wasn't hit for the axle alignment to be off. Looking forword to building it up to look clean.

Nice! Welcome to the brotherhood.

Definetly get that axle aligned ASAP!!

Remember, there's no fun working on perfection if it's already been perfected!!

Congrats on your new car. Just because the title is clean it doesnt mean it wasnt in an accident, if you pay out of your pocket and dont report it to your insurance it never goes on the title. Perfect example is my car, I found out it was in an accident after i bought it.

Yeah, I think in California unless you file a SR1 form orhave your insurance company pay for repairs it won't show up. Unless the body shop reports it to CarFax or something. Generally, I think you have to have dealer repairs or damage over $750 that you legally have to report in Cali. I'm sure there are a few exceptions to this as well.

well if alignment is off thers a few things they could have done. hit some hard pot holes... spun around and bumped a curb. very minor things. hell my civics been in a few at least the did a few nice repairs, tho the last one was kinda lacking. tiny shop did it.
