yeah, i have been looking for a hatch for a long time. you have to jump on a good deal right away. I've called some guys 2-3 days after the ad was posted, and they already sold their ****. I've thought so many times about getting a coupe instead, but have decided not to because I REALLY want the hatch.....good luck to all the other hatch seekers.

They're a dime a dozen here in Orlando, and they just sit at dealerships. I went to check one out today - identical to mine - but it looked like it wasn't taken care of very well so I decided against it.

OK, I got a stupid question.
Why you guys want so much a hatch? what's so special about a 95 hatch?
thank you!

I found mine at the dealership...I didnt even think I could afford an EK, but wanted to go drive one, so the dealership just happend to have a 97 hatch with 75k on it for 6000 dollars and I couldnt pass it up. I wish i had waited and found an eg so i would have more money to spend on go-fast parts though...

gulftools

the eg hatchs are very rare good LUCK!

VX

When i was in the market to buy an EH, all i wanted was a VX b/c of it's advantages of wiring and weight over any other EH, and yes it was a bitch to search, i too went on every auto website trying to find one with no luck, MY best luck was searching in the local papers, they seemed to have more sellers of hatches than the internet. And after a few months of searching everyday on ther internet and in the newspapers... I finally found what i wanted, as Tom said earlier, don't settle for anything less than what YOU want, i almost did, and i thank god that i didn't sucomb(sp?) to that conclusion.

Some advice: Search daily, Be prepared to drive long distances, HAVE THE MONEY READY, and never give up

I drove about 130 miles to get my hatch. I actually paid a bit more than I probably should have, but when someone knows you came over a hundred miles for something, you aren't exactly in a great negotiating position. (I did not get gouged on the price that badly, the interior is immaculate, rust minimal, and pretty low miles 84k on a 92.)

Just keep looking, you'll eventually find something, even if you have to make a road trip for it. Don't allow yourself to get worked over though, an old econo box Civic is not worth 6 grand! (Some people here selling beat up 92 Si's were asking 6-7 grand!)

i started off looking for a 92-95 si hatch. the best thing that i found was to search all over the country. if you want one that bad then you might as well drive for it? i dunno 3,000 miles is a lot but we have a lot of civics out here in california for sale.

also, ebaymotors.com has a good selection sometimes. good luck!

holy hsit that is amazing, ace1875!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would loooooveeeeee to see a deal like that. I doubt anything that cool could ever happen to me though. Still, that would be so amazing, I don't even know what I would do for something like that!

Nameless RB26

omg, that's hilarious..

Pat McGroin

I started to think about doing this, leave a note, offer, and phone number. Voila! Wait for the phone calls.

boomnn

i found mine on a search in yahoo autos!!! 2000 cx hatch $7000 w/ 24000 miles ,lowered ,intake exhaust,carbon hood, buddy club body kit cliiford alarm... etc. bad part was i had to go to california to get it ( im in colrado ) but its been a killer car once i get an engine swap it will be better...

if anyone has any good suggestions on places to buy an h22 or b18c5 let me know otherwise someone with an older hatch that has motor swap i mite be interested in a trade...

Civic_95_Si

It took me about 2 months or more. I was looking for any 92-95 hatch in good condition. I was lucky to find my Si in good shape for a fair price. All the other ones I called about were in bad shape or sold.

kikiboi

i got my 92 cx by luck. my mom's car was blew a gasket, and the dealership that my mom bought the car from let my mom borrow a car, while they looked for another one for her.

so they let us borrow a 95 3000gt, which i just started to drive around. (non-turbo) well they had a buyer for the gt so my dad went back, and i was at school at the time, and then when i open up the garage, boom their was a 92 cx hatch in our garage.

and i was like whoa, thats the car i want. (grey in color). and at the time my car i had was a 90 300zx n/a, and i was trying to sell it. but had no luck.

but the guy ended up trading for the hatch, and some good cash for my z.

so i feel i got really luck in getting my hatch.

LOL.
Was it the one for $1800? I called about it, but it was sold an hour before...

If i didn't owe money on it, i'd consider it...

UltRaH22

finding a perfect hatch may be impossible but not finding A hatch.... when my 94 white si hb was stolen i had only my turbo kit refund money to spend.... u just gotta know where to look and have good timing... even if it comes down to u leaving notes on windshields of local hatches... u never know the owner may call back and say how fed up he is with it and dump it for 500 or whatever. i got lucky and found my 92 si shell in MINT shape... it was totally gutted which allowed me to build it as i wanted. i used to go to all the classifieds too like u. if that fails try some note on the windshield trick and keep eyes peeled when drivin around.. it seems im lookin out the side window more than the front when im cruisin on streets i havent been on before cause u just may find the diamond in the rough... a eg sittin on the side of some guys house cause the tranny went and its been sittin there for 2 months and u go to the door and the guy says gimme 100 and take it away.

chameleon

Similar thing happened as to how I got my EF. red 88 dx hatch, no rust. My friend sold it to another friend of mine. Brian was the seller, john was the buyer. John payed brian half the money, (300 out of 600 or something). Then the car, which Brian said had no problems, took a **** on John. battery died, blew a radiator hose, and some other bullshit. It sat in a garage for 4 months, John wouldn't pay the rest cause it took a **** on him and he had no money to fix it. Brian didn't have the title or the key, and he didn't really feel like dealing with it. So I said "Brian, I'll give you fifty bucks for it." He said ok cause he was sick of dealing with it, and then John mailed me the key and the title.

Oh yeah. FS: red 88 civic hatch

I found my hatch about a year and a half ago. (sat in my driveway for about a year due to license problems). Anyway, a good friend of my stepfather had this '93 black Si h/b that was hooked up to big pimpin status. ("18 rims, 2 12's in the back, alpine this, altezza that) neatless to say, he got himself a bmw and no longer had use for it. He turned it back to stock and was asking $3,500 for it, but while sitting in the street, it was vandalized, so he brought the price down to $2,500. I think I got what I payed for, although he took out P/S and the A/C, something I woulda done anyway. I've had her ever since.
