Default hey guys.... newbie here

buying my first honda tomorrow. Getting a '98 Civic Hatchback that got traded in at the Cadillac dealership I work for. Getting a great deal on it for the condition. It came from Canada so the mileage goes up in kilometers instead of miles but oh well. I figured it to be right around 76,000 miles, clean as hell for $800. The only thing i will want to do is put either a cd changer to the factory head unit or put an after market head unit in it. What would you suggest?

you can get a factory cd player head unit, but i say get an aftermarket one and some decent speakers, will work and sound way better imo... good find and good luck
