Default Price check on this 97 hatch ASAP Please :)

They are asking 4000.00


1997 honda civic hatchback 119,000 miles. Ls/Vtec Dohc Vtec 2,300 miles 200WHP 30+MPG

Car looks really clean, looks to be a professionally done swap, motor was rebuilt by Honda mechanic. 13:1 high comp pistons with Skunk 2 stage 2 cam.

Tuned on Neptune by Jess Evans

No AC or PS

Paint and body 8/10
No rust
Interior 8/10

It is a 2 hour trip and this is one of the cleaner cars I have seen locally.


Good deal or wait..................

Any help appreciated

Sounds like a pretty good deal for the mileage if it does in fact not have issues.

I always found posts without pictures of the whole car to be misleading. Is there a reason he didn't take pictures of the front and side of the car and only the rear and bay ?

Example, everything is cool, except his whole front end is black.

I bought a hatch once that had a lsVTEC setup in it... it lasted about 6 months then I needed a new block.

From that point on I vowed to never buy another Honda with a lsVTEC engine.

Why did the block fail?

Was the setup done correctly?

everytime I ever buy or make an offer on craiglist....the person replies that they got a higher offer....

and a week later, they are willing to knock 1k off the price b/c the mysterious buyer that offered "more then asking" flaked and now they "have to sell"
