Front Honda Logo twisted

[Davecr-v]

Alright I am looking to buy an 02 CR-V anyways from the photos I have seen of the particular car I am going to check out everything is perfect it has a clean carfax but the H in the front is twisted to the Left if this something I can easily fix by just twisting it back or is it something that is more difficult I havent gotten to really look at the Grille of the car. It seems like I can just walk up to it and twist it bac but I want to be sure before I make an offer on the car.

Be wary of CarFax. A clean CarFax does not mean no accidents. It just means CarFax didn't have any on record. Not all states and areas have reported everything, especially from 4 or 5 years ago. Have a qualified body shop look it over for you for evidence of past damage,etc.

Mention the crooked emblem to the dealer. What is the mileage and price they seem to be willing to sell it to you for? Has it been sitting there a while or did they just get it in?

He is listing it for 12999 I live in Queens NY the Mileage is 65,625 It seems like a new listing but I couldn't tell you. I know the truth about carfax because my dads mechanic dosen't list stuff on it but I am going to have it checked out at my mechanic who does body work and I trust. Honestly the twisted logo may be a good bargaining chip especially if it was nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little bit of elbowgrease. I just don't want an LX I mean I never thought the sunroof and other options would be important to me but now I really want them and could get accustomed to them plus ABS is important

ALright I saw the car today and it wasa dead riger for accident damage vehicle the hood ddn't close various components of the interior didn't work it looked pretty worn out and the front logo would have need professional work

If so, run to the LX.

No the one I bought is in brand new shape it was garaged I think it was driven by a religious dude my dealer is orthodox Jewish they are on brooklyn so my dad was playin up the jew thing it was so funny you ever see the episode of curb your enthusiasm where larry is talking to the religious guy and making up words kinda like that. Hey if i was driven by a rabbi I don't have to worry about him blasting the stereo system :)

Assume that no fluids were ever changed except oil unless you have dealer records of it.

We had the guy change all of the fluids and the oil and he even guaranteed me new tires in 10,000 miles it had the original Duelers on it 40k they need a change in a bit but they have good tread.
