Okay, I just need some inspiration on this matter. Should I get this vehicle for the price listed..?

This is what is written under the vehicle's picture (it's black)

1993 Civic EX Sedan
New VTEC Motor
New clutch, muffler, AC compressor & Evaperator, complete tune up w/ all belts and hoses.
170,000 K miles.

Soudn like an okay buy? Please provide incite.

Sounds pretty expensive to me, like $1,000 too expensive. I highly doubt it has a brand new engine in it, it's most likely just another engine with less miles on it. You could get a newer engine (newer than '93) for around $350 or even less if you shop around. And the other new parts could be had (some from a junkyard) for roughly $400, and most are basic tune-up/maintenance stuff that needs to be done anyways. So figure around $800 for all the "new" parts on it, and add that to the price of the car; which should be anywhere from $2,000-$2,700 depending on condition (interior, exterior, rust, and mechanical issues). Either way $4,250 is too much, keep shopping around or try to talk them down quite a bit.

for that 2 words well a compound word more like.

fuckno

Damnit man... I want a damned VTEC Civic. A friend of mine has an '00 Civic Si (I think). He baught it for 7 grand. He was suggesting that I buy the car... But I think he's just a Honda junkie.

Originally, I just wanted to buy a beater Honda and swap a H22A7 out.

Just because it's vtec doesn't mean a damn thing. Most likely it's the d16z6, a 125hp stock '92-'95 EX and Si engine. If you're just going to do a swap, buy a car with no engine in it.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Oh well... I suppose I'll continue to search around. The problem I have with JUST getting a shell is that I need something to drive around in for a while, while I resave up for an h22a.

I paid 4200 for a 95 Civic EX with 88k miles.. so I would say not a good idea.

Is your vehicle a good and reliable one? I ask this because I found a Civic EX for... well, read the below:
1997 HONDA CIVIC EX, 5 spd, 2 dr, cold air, cd, new tires, like new in and out, sunroof, 119K mi, $3750 obo

I'm having lucid dreams of someone answering my last post.

that's not a bad price there....but i think if you're going to do a swap, you should get a cheapo car w/ a gazillion miles.....btw, i would do a GSR swap rather than an H22....but that's just me

.....btw, i would do a GSR swap rather than an H22....but that's just me
Yup, that is just you :D

^^^ i like my GSR and i think everyone should have one!! :p

I thought about a GS-R as well, but I like the options with an H22.
There are two other options:
1981 Honda Civic Wagon with 111k miles on it
2,450$
(breaks, belts, fuilds replaced)
&
19xx Toyota Camrey, not sure of the mileage
1,000$

those kinda sound like dead end cars....the Civic is too old to do a lot to, and idk anything about camrys....

i will sell u my 94 civic with a gsr swap for 7000

What years is the GSR? And where do you hail from?

hell i have a 97 civic ex needs couple exterior parts clean title just parts dented up a little bit...Runs great new alternator,battery,pass axle..

Id take 2600 on it...Dont really need much

rush3969@yahoo.com i have pics and all...wasnt really looking to get rid of it cause it serves its purpose getting me to where i need to go but would let it go for that,cheap price to for what little it needs i found parts for under 200...

Later

im from pa. its a 94-95 gsr. i got it stripped down for the winter but i got alot of mods done.
