Default Need to know if this is a good idea

I did not know where else to post this, since you all are most experienced.

it's a 92' VX
Si front brakes
95' GSR wheels
fake vision corners
eibach springs
Has LS motor, but im buying it without the motor since im replacing it w/ type r motor. Price is $2000. Aalso, car is black primer, was red, but i know a friend who can paint the car factory red, i just have buy paint.

Should i get it? i've been looking for a hatch for over 5 months.

that deal sucks ***. a 92 hatch, primered w/ no engine?? for 2000 bucks??? **** that. my boy josh just bought a 93 vx for 1400 (decent car). it doesnt matter if you have a friend who paints, or if youve got a type-r engine... that deal sucks. get one w/ paint and an engine for around 1800 instead! then you can put the paint money into the engine, plus youll have a spare engine for when you pull the R to build it.

wtf? i was looking for EG hatches for a while, until i stumbled on the 2000 CX which is now mine. i looked at cars in the 2500-3000 range in perfect running condition and glossy paint. but if you want to get skrewed, thats fine by me, "***".

yeah that deal sucks ***. a 92 hatch, primered w/ no engine?? for 2000 bucks??? **** that. it doesnt matter if you have a friend who paints, or if youve got a type-r engine... that deal sucks. get one w/ paint and an engine for around 1800 instead! then you can put the paint money into the engine, plus youll have a spare engine for when you pull the R to build it.

I'd let that slide. For $2000, you should be able to drive it home at least. The only upgrades are si front brakes & GSR rims? AND you need paint AND a motor to look "normal"? Too much$$.

Hey bro, i hear you on that, Cali has a **** load of hatchbacks. So you see? 77064 zip code nothing, and when i search, i do all prices, and 250 mi radius, and you get bogus prices. 5 months of searching, and this is not even good enough for the H-t boys.

I'll try to ask him to lower it, but from a sellers point, 500 is a big percentage from 2000. bump..

Yeah i know i know. but the thing is, he wanted to sell the car w/ the LS motor. Thats how i first heard about it you know. $4000 is a damn good price for a car w/ a swap. We all know an LS swap is not worth $2000. But he took off $2000, and he himself knows what an LS motor is worth, its just that the car still a shell.

oops, i actually overrated the blue book. check this out-

http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.u...Civic&12;HO;CH&&&

that is WITH an engine, and in FAIR condition. the car your buying has no engine, and is in POOR condition.

edit: lmao, a vx with an LS swap = 4 grand? no thank you, LS motors are like 500 bucks. this guy is skrewing you up the *** dude. 1500 MAX or walk away.

I'm sure LS motors are worth $500. Thats why i said " we all know LS motors are not worth 2000 bucks" But he took off 2000 dollars because i'm still just geting a shell. And by the way, VX is the hottest model, VX and CX, why? its the lightest, people know that. And $4000 is a very good price for hatch w/ swap.
You see it all the time.
