Default bought my 97 cx today

i finally bought my 97 cx hatch today. i am so stoked. it is in IMMACULATE condition. the ouside has no dents, never been in an accident, perfect interior. i only paid $3995 for it at a dealer in DE. only thing its missing is the cargo thing behind the back seat that blocks view whats in the trunk. it has 137,000 miles on it, but im putting my b20/vtec motor in the car in July so its all good. im so happy!

Dang that's a lot of mileage, no wonder it's so cheap.

Still, good buy.

Good luck with the B20 project.

But still, you have more than 2 months to drive around in a 70 HP CX!

That will hurt

Won't all those miles affect the chassis, or the whole car for that matter, somewhat? Or is it all good since he is getting a new engine and tranny?

106 hp yo.

The much mileage isn't that good. I mean, you'r bushings are for sure feeling it. You might want to replace those too. But still, you got a really good deal... especially from a dealer.

that car is damn good homie... the front end is clean and those lights are not fogged or scratched at all ! (typical of 96-98 headlights) you got a good deal, once you put that motor in and do a few mods that car is going to be slammin.. good luck and have fun... ****IM JEALOUS****

Are you SERIOUS? Possibly because getting that great of gas mileage will mean he is SLOW until he does his swap. I guess that doesn't matter to some?

Got my EG's and EK's mixed.
