so my friend is selling a 99 black si with 150k mileage for 6k.....
it has dc headers,wsp2 exhaust,rota slips,skunk2 springs and its mad clean and i was wondering if this is worth it or not this would be my daily

6k is kinda high for that mileage TBH. But if you decide to go for it, make sure you either get an alarm or park in a garage.

do it!!

For some reason, people pay $5-7k for an Si all the time. I think they're kind of overpriced, but they are neat cars. I would say go for it, maybe try to get it for $5000. But beware, the Honda game is addictive and expensive.

THIS.

I have owned both a 100% 99 Si and 00 Si type r head w/ all bolt-ons over the past 5 years. These are very fun cars. The price is not too bad, sure a little high, but talk him down a little. 150k is a lot. Even after having 2, I would spend 6k to have another one.

Alas, I have Honda disease. Each paycheck $100 goes to the loan and ~$100+ goes to the car. Buying a grill and fogs on the next one... after I get out of court haha!

D Griff

Yeah, it's funny. I bought my car for $1800, and I've sunk at least $3000 into it and it isn't even swapped or FI. I still love it though, I don't regret it.

Also this.

mileage is kinda high, but if the body is in good shape i'd say do it. you'll love the car.

it's a Honda. who gives a damn how many miles are on it? i'd be proud to own a honda with 20,000 or 200,000 miles. i'd laugh at others who went through 2 motors in 200,000 while mine has everything original. as long as you take care of it, it'll last forever. like forcefedferio said, if the body is in good shape, then do it!

SeanK325

btw, i really don't think the mileage is that high. you're right where it should be for an 11yr old car. if you lived in los angeles, that's actually a bit less than normal as we drive 15-20K per year.

EJeff8

150,000 is just getting into the breakin stage of a Honda. If the body is good and you're worried of engine mileage, do a swap. It's cheap to do for Hondas =] (Cheap being relative to actual engine swap costs)

SeanK325

it's not worth swapping the motor though. after the 6K on the car, he'll spend another grand on the motor and he'll be in the same exact spot. if the car is clean in and out, pull the trigger! black SI's are nice. classy honda.

EJeff8

^. Still, if he wanted to he could. You have no clue what money this kid has in his pocket.

not to much after i buy this car so it would have to last me and maybe i would rebuild the engine if its worth doing, or maybe swap it not sure

yoontim23

Si's will always cost alot. If it's clean title for sure i would take it for 6k.

D Griff

You shouldn't need to rebuild or swap as long as your buddy took care of it. I have 152k on my D series and it runs like a champ with great compression, not leaks/burns. It was even abused for the first 9 years of its life and not maintained. Luckily I've been caring for it the last four years. And Bs are sturdy motors.

wilaivue

do it...my d series is at 15x,xxx and running strong!!i wish i had a chance to get a SI.

SeanK325

if the motor needs a rebuild, then talk him down from 6. business is business, and just because your his buddy doesn't mean you should get screwed.

B motors are strong, especially the SI. They will last just as long as a D motor if it's taken care of.

in any case, post pics if you can. now i want to see this car.

Be ready to spend alot of money. Honda game isn't cheap.
