Hey, i got a decision to make by tomorrow (Sunday 15,2002)
Here are my 2 choices
1- 1995 Red Honda Civic DX Hatch, 172,000KM, 5spd, a deck w/ cd player, alarm system, 1 year warranty on tranny and engine, certified and e-tested. $5600 w/ all taxes

2- 1992 Aqua-Green Honda Civic VX Hatch, 152,000KM, 5spd, original deck, new timing belt, battery, 4 winter tires, and 4 summer tires, certified and e-tested, no warranty, $5300 w/ all taxes

What you guys think? i dont know how to make a poll so i had to do it this way!

THanks alot

#1 gets my vote.... because the cd player and the alarm.

Nader_D

have you heard anything good about VX's though? they 50 MPG which is the only thing i would like but im ripping the engine out so would you still take the DX? or what?

I say get the red DX hatch cause I like red better than teal. But those prices seem REALLY high for those hatchbacks. I got my Black 92 Si for $2700 with 142,000miles... I assume you are buying from a used car dealer since it has warranty and everything? But still...that price seems really high

Nader_D

I also live in Ontario, so if you are in the US, its approx. the same price unless you got a crazy good deal! but the red is from a dealer whereas the teal is a private deal. im still not positive but ive been getting lots of feedback from friends saying that i should get the red one instead of the teal.. plz i need some more feedback! thnx alot everyone

If you plan on swapping engines, then it's really up to you. The VX is a little lighter if that helps, but base it more on bady condition and interior condition, since these would be the key components in a hybrid as of now. And it's also Canadian currecny, so it's about 33-3500 US after taxes for him about

my vote is for the red one

Number 1 easily.

Newer year.
Better color
Warranty

976

Uh, number too, it's prewired for vtec, and plus a little cheaper. No ugly back trim on the side of the car in the VX model. Lighter chassis .The money you spend for a wiring harness might pay for your alarm anyway, IMHO I'd go number two!

i dont know man..both prices seem a lil to high...but if thats your final search i say number 2

same here. . . . i bought my 92 cx hatch with only 69000 miles on it for only 3400. it was some really old guy that didnt want to drive stick anymore so i bought it off of him. but yea, that price is REALLY high. my friend also bought a 96 cx hatch for only 3600 but it had 140000 miles . my pick would be the hatch. but i still wouldnt buy it.

ITR21

i think he forgot to mention that hes talking about canadian dollars

IM ALL BOB

do you plan to swap the engine anytime soon? suspension.. if you are going to have it stock for a while.. I say go #1.. but if the car is going to be done up right away new engine/suspension/brakes/rims.. I say #2 but its all up to you

Mark

Ouch...Got my 94' Black EX ek for 3k FLAT! 260k miles, deck, power everything! Pics up soon

Nader_D

Wow, this got a pretty good turnout! thanks alot guys, im pretty sure im going to go with #1, unless the private guy from #2, will drop his price to $5000(Canadian) which will be 5400 with all the stuff together, which is a really good deal for down here! The 95 DX, got quite the # of votes, so if the guy wont sell it for 5000, then red Dx here i come. As for parts, im buying the parts one by one, then once the snow is gone so near the end of feburary ill get everything ready. I emailed Osaka, to see which motor would be the best for a 95 Dx, so im hopping to get feedback from them. If you guys got any other feedback on what some good performace parts i could get please feel free to post.. as i said in the title...NOOBIE! and not afraid to admit it. Im getting a sweet *** deal for a paintjob if i need one... my buddy has his own air brush business and hes 17! myage! and he's good but i wont blab on.. thanks alot! Keep posting

Peace

Nader

You got it for 3000 flat beacuse it has 260 miles on it! thats a **** load man! even for hondas that getting up there! have fun w/ that later

EpDarks

I'd go for the DX only because it's red.

If either of them had a body that was substantially better than the other, I'd get that one...

If your wondering, you can search this site about engine swaps. There is so much info it's rediculous.

Good luck dude.

#2 is pre wired for vtec i believe...that is the only plus i see over the dx

Actually there is the black trim on the vx and it only blue books for around 3500 with that price you are getting raped.Go with the dx but talk him down cuz they only blue book for about 4500.
