The bad: Salvage title

Should I dive in head first into this car or be leery of the salvage title? We have worked out a deal with a local dealership to trade in my Toyota 4x4 pickup for his Integra because he is buying a car for his wife from that dealership and using the money from my truck trade in as down payment. Need advice. I have the VIN as well but haven't ran a CarFax. He says that it has a salvage title because when it was brought to America from Japan it didn't pass emissions or something like that. Thanks for any input.

That car looks like ass, has a salvage title, and isn't worth near $5500. I would stay away. From what I can see from the pic that car is not from Japan. Is it right hand drive? How many characters are in the VIN? Does it say JH4DA6 or JH4DA9?

DA9 means that it's a USDM Integra, not from Japan and that that seller is full of shit, and has a salvage title for something other than the lie he fed you. Do not buy that car.

If it has a salvage title then it was wrecked, and bad enough to be totaled out. The whole didnt pass emissions test thing is total BS. Run from this car. He made the deal because the dealership wont take a car with salvage title for trade in.
