Re: newbee with question on 88 purchase

I would have to say that it depends on what you're looking for. If you just want a shell to put a new motor in, then I would say forget about mileage and look at the shape the body and interior are in, and see if you can pick it up for just a few hundred. If you just want to keep the car stock, just look for the general stuff. Civics are prone to rust around the fender lips, but tend to hold up great otherwise. I picked up my last hatchback for 900 running, with about 115K miles on it. Take some pics of it and post it up, and we can give you some input on it. Also, the trim level might make a difference in what the car is worth. If it is an Si, it will have better seats and interior options, sunroof, etc. A DX is much more basic and less valuable. Find out what the details are, and post them up here, I'll try to give you an idea of what it's worth, at least around here...
