Civic Hybrid 4-cyl

  • 148,074 miles
I bought a 2004 Honda Civic hybrid from efficiency motor cars on 5 May 2013, paying $4600 up front and the final $200 less than a month later. The car has had problems (starting problems, battery replaced twice, wrong wheel size when bought, broken wheel stud, short in the electrical system that's been hard to find and finally the cars wheel rolled off the car when I was leaving arrest area) since I bought it. There hasn't been a straight month where the car has been reliable I ran into problems this week when attempting to get the car insured. Every insurance company that I applied to will not insure my car because of a salvage/rebuilt title of which I was previously unaware. I have not received the title, though I have asked efficiency motor cars for it several times. After becoming frustrated with efficiency motor cars, I made an attempt at getting the car's title myself from the department of driver services. When inquiring about my car"S title I discovered the title was being held by the dds because efficiency motor cars had reported the wrong odometer reading. The former reading being 159, xxx from the previous title holder and 148, 074 when sold to me. (maybe a fraudulent roll back") this is also how I discovered the car had previously been salvaged, which was not disclosed to me. So, when I finally get my title, the title will be salvage/rebuilt.
