Default 96 MGP DX or 2000 black DX?

96 Midori Green Pearl w/ 112,000 miles on engine
lots of little dings, mustve belonged to a ricer kid cuz it has generic exhaust and CAI, interior is in very good condition, clean title
$5000

2000 black w/ 70,000 miles,
body is pretty good shape, everything is stock, clean interior, clean title
$9000

which one would you guys go for?
The engine is no biggie, i have a ls/vtec plan coming...
but,
99-00 front and dash is a lot better
but midori green pearl is the most awesome stock hatch color
haha
i dunno
give me some feedback
i have a deposit on the MGP one right now

It's pretty much up to your preference but if it were me in this situation, i'd go for the midori hatch.. I could remove dings myself and probably could obtain a 99-00 front end easily. It all comes down to whatever floats your boat.

dude, i got my 2000 with half the miles for 7 grand

i would go with the 2000 because A) i hate midori green and B) 99-00 have better front ends.

Go with the midori because it's cheaper and better looking than black. My opinion is skewed because I own a midori hatch, but I like it a lot.

read my signature. Im selling mine. asking a lil more than the 96 you might grab but hey....look at the mileage. thats right 4000+mi on the motor believe it or not. I have papers proving that the motor was from a totaled 98 civic lx that was totaled in 99 right after it was sold. email me if youre interested

Why does everyone like the 99-00 fronts. I like my 96-98 front just fine .

Why does everyone like the 99-00 fronts.
cuz they look better . i like my 97 front just fine, but of course i think the 99 looks a lot better.

anyway, i'd go for the 00.

If you're planning to swap, go with the 96!!! Midori green owns!!! But 5k? My 97 has only 40k miles, just a few scrathes and a few dings and i got mine for around that much!
