I am a honda technician myself and I can tell you for sure it is almost always more adventageous to put money into and fix and older car than get tied into payments or spend a lot on a new car, hondas last as long as you make them last pretty much. Check the compression if you know how and thats usually a good indicator. What does it need otherwise?

Take a look on EBAY for honda's similar to your and check some of the mileage on them, you'll be surprised, seems like if u keep up the regular work they dont ever stop.

even if the motor is going a new one is cheep. a d series if that is what you are running or pretty much any motor you want. The worst thing would be rust. So if the body is nice deff keep it.

my last civic had a d16z6, 260,000 miles and still running strong when i sold it for the civic i have now. Which has a d16y7 with 210,000 miles on it as of now. Never had a problem except for a distributor going out on my first civic. they were both completely stock daily drivers.
