Should I pick this up??
I have recently been searchin around local car ad's for a civic hatch preferably a midori green, cuz i am in love with that color. I came across this one, the guy listed it for 2750 but I think I am guna negotiate the price with him when I take a look at it tomorrow. I am kinda a poor college student right now. my plan is to make it a daily, prolly put HX's on it and possibly doin an ls swap. I was just seein what yall thought about it and if you think he is askin too much. I know its a rare color, but its also a CX. Lemme know what you think. THanks.

how many miles? $2700 sounds pretty decent, but of course again that depends on things like mileage. Also what's the interior like, i see a bit of sunfading on the hood and such, but who wouldn't love a fresh coat of midori anyway?

Hahahaha thats why i didnt post the ad! I dont want ppl to scoop it up before I have a chance to look at it!
180,000 before the odometer went bad, speedo was replaced.. kinda scary but I mean.. Ive been workin on hondas for a long time and can replace anything.. Interiors kinda beat.. 5 out of 10 id say.. It looks like a dog nawd on the shift **** and seats lol. I wanted to respray it myself kinda, I worked at a body/paint shop over summer and learned ALOT and also got to paint towards the end before I had to come back to school. AND MIDORI IS THE ****!

Re: Should I pick this up??
Of course you should pick it up. You don't need the affirmation of all the rubber neckers on here to tell you it's a good idea - you already know what you want, be a grown up and go and get it.
However, I'll submit to you: WTF is the point of looking for a midori green hatch if you're just going to repaint it midori green anyway? Why not look for a hatch of any colour, with an interior that isn't a devastating 5/10, with a speedo that can guarantee the amount of mileage, and maybe ... has a lower price? If you're a student, then that is your biggest concern.... low dineros.
Either that or wait for another m. green one to come along.

I just wanted to see if more people thought it was a good price man, no need to be rude.

The point of looking for a midori green is that I wont have to worry about painting engine bay, door jams, etc. Also I get this wont be done for a while and I may just take the hood off and paint that alone, just keeping options open.

I have talked to him about lowering the price. I am going to try to get it down to 2000, but if not the most i think ill pay is around 2300. I do plan on having a crazy anti-theft system with cut off's and alarms.

Body looks good, though the peeling clearcoat on the hood sucks and the front bumper looks like it's missing a bolt or such.
Almost any stock '96 Civic is going to need a little TLC.
Value depends greatly on the location.
I know here anything older than 10 years old is supposed to be exempt from mileage anyway.
Good luck and have fun with it. I wouldn't dump a lot of cash into repainting what doesn't need new paint though.
