Going to buy this hatch, is this a good price?
All I know is its a '93 with a LS motor and a GSR leather interior. I've been told its real clean. He wants 4800 for it. Is that a good price?

ummmm...what's the mileage?
personally...i find it risky to buy a car that already has mods done to it, because it gives me the idea that the previous owner pushed the car to the limit a lot. but 4800 seems reasonable if the car is in good shape with good motor.

I really don't know about the miles, but I will be taking a look at it today. So I can let you know than what kind of shape it is in.

Hahaha, sounds exactly like my car, here's what I paid:
93 Civic CX MINT exterior: $2500
95 B18B shipped: $1800
parts for swap $800
97 GSR front and rear seats: $180
So I'm well over that mark that he's asking for, but like the other guys said, I probably wouldn't buy a modified car.

Hrmm how's the engine.. run a compresion test first, and how's the outside body? Rusty, Good? I think you would get more enjoyment out of buying a real nice condition hatch, then saving up and buying a swap and doing it yourself. Trust Me you'll enjoy it that much more. Up to you.. good luck!

One problem is that its a car with black leather interior and no a/c in souther cali. So that doesn't sound too comftrouble to me.

OK I just saw the car. It has a new red paint job(1 yr old) Its a beautiful bright red with just tiny bit of orange. Its an Si and the only things not working are the A/C and the cruise control. But I think the a/c can be installed on it and work again. Its got an aftermarket clutch and the engine and tranny drive real smooth and work great. The Odometer has 106k and the engine that was installed on it a few years back had 50k-60k on it. One problem though. Its not using a 1.8l raditatior. It still has the stock little small one on it. He drove it to Vegas and said he didn't have overheating problems, so I don't know if thats going to be a concern with it or not.

Souds like a pretty good car for the price. About the radiator I had my stock civic one in my car for almost a year after I installed my b18c5 and never had any problems at all.
