Small things to look for when buying a 5G/6G civic.
Well my dx is beyond repair at this time, so looks like I'm getting a new beater/DD. I'm not concerned about the engine/body I know the obv things to lookout for. What I'm asking is what nasty little tricks have you guys seen sellers use to cover things up on sale day ?, ziptied washer bottles glued interior panels etc.
I bought my integra knowing it would be a track car, but I need this to be reliable and able to pass safety.
input welcome !
