When it was built, with the specified and superior 6 cylinder engine, it had a V-8 emblem on the tailgate as it rolled out of the Jefferson Road plant. There may be others so badged, withy a 6 cylinder engine, but I suspect not. That's exceptional.

 Bought this today. Only 100,000 original miles, single owner driven, everything works, no CEL, new tires, no smoke, no leaks, no problems. 2000 Acura CL 3.0l for only $1800. I talked him down from $2000 because there is a hairline crack in the front windshield from a rock chip I'll need to replace. But $1800 for a nice Acura with only 100k feels like gold to me.

It may be okay in some parts of the country, I don't know 100%, but get ready to have your insurance claim denied in case of an accident. You’re talking nonsense. There is nothing in a US insurance policy that would cause a denial of 1st or 3rd party coverages for not having an airbag.

MY '68 VW Fastback is getting airbags, does that cancel it out? Cars have to be manufactured/sold with airbags, that's it. The emissions part is what's really important here for being in CA, that's probably something he should be mentioning. V8 Roadsters does a 3.6 GM V6 swap for these too that's supposedly better suited to the RX-8. They also have a Ford 8.8 conversion for V8s. That guy's car could have been done a lot better.

big crush on Chad OMG posted:Nice job moving the goalposts and editing your post, I guess? You said your claim would get denied because of removing the airbag, I called you out on posting nonsense, and now you’re talking about how it would play in court. There are two separate issues here. It is illegal to remove the airbags or defeat safety systems built into the car. It's only allowed if you have a reason that getting hit with an airbag might be dangerous to you, and then you have to get written permission from the NHTSA. In practice this only matters if your state has safety inspections as part of your registration renewal. There are no airbag police who will track you down and arrest you for it. Insurance coverage is another matter. If you shut off or remove the airbags in your car and someone in your car is hurt in an accident, they will probably charge you with contributory negligence and assess some of the blame for the injury to you.

Nitrox posted:Let me explain. Insurance company is happy to latch on to whatever condition they can find to deny your or anyone's claim. Removing an airbag makes your car illegal to drive, so insurance adjuster would be happy as gently caress to see that you've done that. So when the other party's insurance is suing you personally, you'll be scrambling to sue your own company, just to force them to represent your interests in court. You’re literally making things up. Look at your insurance policy and find the exclusions language for 1st party, 3rd party, and comp/coll. You won’t find anything in there saying removing an airbag is an excluded act. The closest you could get would be the exclusion about racing, but it’s a non issue if the accident didn’t happen on the track or you were street racing (and the burden of proof is on the insurer to prove this is the case). This whole myth that insurance companies deny claims all the time willy nilly is not based in reality. If you deny these legit claims you’ll get blasted with bad faith lawsuits and pay out treble damages. People do dumb poo poo to their cars all the time and it’s covered.

You sound like a smart guy who knows everything, but do this just to prove me wrong. Call your insurance company directly and ask them what would happen to your potential claim if during an accident your car was missing some mandatory safety features, like an airbag. You can even call anonymously.

You’re the one making the claims, it’s your burden of proof. http://doi.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/doinvgov/_public-documents/Consumers/AU127-1.pdf Here’s a sample PDF of a real insurance policy. Read the exclusions sections. See anything about modifying the vehicle, or safety equipment, or literally anything related to what you’re claiming?

Farm insurance company denied the claim as it was 'an act of god' For cars, that is actually separate coverage. Collision damage covers your car being in an accident with another car. If you want to cover damage from other sources (like an "Act of God"), you need Comprehensive coverage. It's not mandatory, so many people don't buy it - and then they bitch when a tree falls on their car.
