Is this a good deal for a '95 Civic? A 2 door coupe with a black widow body kit, automatic, and it has 110,000 miles on it, for $5,000. Please respond.

is it an ex? or what and even if it is no thats not that great. its sounds pretty average. if anything. unless you have tons of power i wouldnt recomend an automatic.

what you mean not a good deal? I got my '95 2 door civic EX w/o any stinking body kit for $6,100!! and that was only 2 yrs ago and it was a great deal! Dude, if the car is an EX and its in real good shape, then yes that is a sweet deal. Sure you can find them for cheaper, it just depends on what quality you are looking for. Mine was a Honda certified, exellent ( And I mean EXCELLENT) condition, EX with 114,000 miles on it. You can get a meh so so decent DX with what you are talking about for $4,000 easy. Just depends on the quality of what you are buying. I'll leave the rest to you.

onesojourner ----Youre an idiot

dont listen to the guy, that an awsome deal especially with the body kit, however, i wouldnt get an automatic even at that price, thats just wrong driving a souped up car with no stick

Im not dissing your car or nothing, but i personally wouldnt get an auto. Plus if you add a nice muffler stick sounds much better then auto.

Yeah, if I could drive a manual, I'd probably say autos suck too. But until then let me have my shoulder chip! ok!!

LOL

stick is very easy to learn, trust me its easier then learning to ride a bike. And more fun, i say maybe u should consider doing a auto to stick conversion

I'm sure it would be easy to learn. Its just an extra motion with the feet on the clutch. I do the hand shifting part sometimes even with my auto

A conversion is too expensive though, I'll get a manual next car I get. For now I'll just have to deal with my auto. Funny thing is though, I can't even practice driving a manual, cuz everyone in my family drives an auto. My Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, they all drive autos. I just got sucked in! Won't be too many years though. Anyways, I'm kinda lazy and I rather like the auto right now. I'll be ready for a manual soon though. Just gimme another year or so.

markpa how about you grow up and stop calling people names for having an opinion. witch i stand by by the way. i didnt say it was a bad deal. i said it wasnt that great example here is one thats at a dealer right now 94 ex 5spd (and great condition ive looked at it) with 90,000 for 5,000. but it doesnt have a body kit. like i said its not a great deal. and im a little one sided bc i would rather have a stick than an auto.

I think I got the best deal I could find. About 6 months ago I bought my 92 civic si hb with 110,000 miles for $3,700. My uncle talked him down from $4,200

(THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THE NAME CALLING)

im responding to the actual post ;D
i think its a greeeat deal. as long as nothing is horribly wrong with the car you are getting a good deal! and ya, of course most people would rather have a manual but i have an auto and i beat 5speed's all the time (mainly cuz they dont know what they are doin, lol).. by the way, the transmission switch for that car would be $2500-3000....
