kent

viCeVerSa

with That engine ?> how many miles are on it and what year is it?

kent

1998 37000 miles..its going to be my moms car and im trying to get her a good deal. im not going to add aftermarket parts, so i dont need speed or anything

I personally wouldnt buy a wrecked car....especially for 6500 dollars. I got a 97 dx hatch for less than that from a dealership.

kent

how do you get your cars soo cheap? i dont get it? :\

-Whitey-

the guy is gonna rebuild it and sell it for 6500 or rebuild it after you pay 6500 for it the way it is? id say you can find a way better probally mint carfor a little less then that somewhere else

i wouldnt buy it if i were you it looks like a lemon and why would you buy someone elses lemon and try to fix it?

kent

we pay someone after the guy fixes it. he will rebuild the front end and the engine. then we pay $6500. where can you find cheap cars?

ionic_slim

thats crazy! you can find used civic that aren't wrecked for the same price.

kent

okie thanks alot fellaz for the help :D

sshaikh01

don't buy it.
It is way too expensive, even if he fixses it and then sells it for 6500 it is still
too expensive.


look








and to show you its a ex.



I bought this from the dealorship for 6500, the car is clean blue title and never been wrecked.

now you can see the difference.
If i were you i would NOT buy that civic.

there was a theft recovery si in the classifieds, a 2000, looked like it was missing an intake, fenders, front bumper, and some interior **** and dude was selling for $2k 6500 for that car is a ripoff

kent

where do you guys get your cheap civics? dealerships? do you talk them down off their price? or what?

IS3Fifty

dude your nuts if you pay 6500 for that car. Look at the front end damage. Needs a motor, hood, etc. Its not worth 6500. Id tell him id give him 1500 or less.

b16 matt

I paid 5400 for a 00 si damaged half as bad... and that was 1 year ago..

Drews Bitch

don't do it.. that will in the end cost you close to 10k at the $6500 price...
i'd offer $1500-$1800 for it..

and remember buyers have more power than sellers
theres always another car and you can take your money elsewhere

AllMotorBrew

dont do it man you can find them cheaper than that in the newspaper or in autotrader or something but that is some **** for 6500

street dreams

dude that car has frame damage let it go to that SCRAP YARD IN THE SKY

Are you guys COMPLETE idiots!! He's not buying the car as is for 6500. Somebody is going to rebuild the whole front end and THEN sell it for 6500. I think if he uses OEM parts, blends a perfect finish, and does everything right, it would be worth 6500. What year is it BTW??? After the car is finishes, take it a body shop that specializes in unibody's and make sure everything is done correctly. Take the engine in to a mechanic and have him look that over. You could posible get a better deal, it just takes time.

swpdb16

Its not a bad deal, but you have to keep in mind its never going to be the same as a new car or a car that hasn't been in an accident like that. Depending on the kind of job hes gonna do shitty or good 6500 is not bad.

slvrcivic97

As Emerica said, if the rebuilder used genuine parts and and does a good job, I think in the end it might be worth it. Although, just keep looking because I'm sure there will be other 6th gen civics for cheaper than that with a clean title. Either way.

Kent, buy a autotrader. You can find alot nicer stuff in there for that price that is not wrecked...

JwM

The best thing is to be patient and take advantage of every resource i.e. autotrader, newspaper, etc. I found my 93 CX hatch for 1600 bucks, through word of mouth, but still. I also offer the "find a better deal, not wrecked" opinion. You will feel better in the long run. I am sure you could find an unwrecked, Certified Used for 6500 bucks... Good luck in whatever you choose...
