If you just go by the 1 picture, it looks pretty good. Sorry for anyone who drives all the way down there to find out what the left side looks like.

Wow. Full of fail. Someone should go down and make them an offer of $3500 for it for parts.

Yow, kinda pricey for a very stock looking FD with fairly high miles - and an accident history. Guess they hope no one gets a carfax on it.

Sorry I missed this part, but how do we know it's the same car as the salvage titled one? I can look into this with more info.

Its the same car. After it disappeared off the salvage auction web site, it appeared on Gold Wing's site for sale with minor body damage. After there were no takers, it disappeared for a bit, then reappeared freshly painted. So unless Gold Wing has had 2 x red 93 FDs for sale, its the same car.

I have checked through some reputable channels and yes it is one and the same car. No matter how many times I have asked the seller, they have refused to disclose whether or not the car has an accident history.

Could be a nasty bit of business. The collision wont show up on the Ontario databases, as the car is an american import from MA, so the only way that there would be a history for the collision would be if the previous American owner reported the accident before selling the vehicle to the importer - this would be found via a cross jurisdictional search (ie Carfax).


End of the day - they're asking good money for an american car with a collision history and they're not being especially up front about it.

And that is why many of these cars sit for years and years. I understand that lhd FD's are apparently alotta money however, its dealers like these that cause the values of these cars to drop but oh well :P

Are dealers not required to disclose the vehicle's history in Ontario? They are here in Alberta, and we have generally have the weakest protections for consumers and workers in Canada. Since they repaired it, this dealer certainly knows it was damaged - and was it not damaged in Canada? I thought the car was previously imported by a forum member in Ontario before it was damaged - ?

They only legally have to disclose anything if its on paper.
