Can someone please do me the favor of checking this car out? I am interested in this car...I had the Car Fax done and its a bit sketchy. The car fax shows it was in a rear accident, at first it states its severe, but then further down, it says that the police report would be shown only if it were more than $500 more in damage. The pictures they show on Autotrader only show the front and sides, with no rear shot. But after talking to two different people, they swear up and down that there is nothing wrong with the car, frame or otherwise. The title was salvaged but was repaired and now shows Clear. I would love to check this car out in person myself, but I am only ~900 miles away.

Detailed Vehicle History Definitions:

Accident
CARFAX receives information on accidents in most states when an official police report is filed. The level of detail in the accident record varies by state depending on the state's accident report requirements. CARFAX recommends you obtain a vehicle inspection from your dealer or an independent mechanic for any car involved in an accident.

New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.

Rebuilt/Reconstructed Title
A Rebuilt/Reconstructed vehicle is a salvage vehicle that has been repaired and restored to operation. These vehicles are often severely damaged before they are rebuilt and refurbished parts are typically used during reconstruction. In most states, an inspection of the vehicle is required before the vehicle is allowed to return to the road.

Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.

Just my humble opinion, but unless this car is for sale for about $20, I'd turn and run. Why mess with a car that has had severe damage? NSX's aren't the easiest or cheapest car to fix after a severe accident. There are plenty of others to look at. Just fair warning.
 
Turns out someone else had already checked the car out, and it is a stinker. The post was from last month, and it was going for $22k then, now its going for $19k. Looks like they're stuck with it. heh. Thanks though. Well, now I just need to hold off on an NSX until I get my house.
