I don't think so, I would wait for one that was not wrecked.

I wouldn't buy it. You will probably spend enough money fixing that one to buy a nonsalvage hatch without rust.

I would say it MIGHT be worth it. What else is wrong with it aside from the rust? Does it run? If you could get them to come down a lot more in price then I say go for it. It all depends on what is wrong with it.

RUST.

That alone means stay the hell away form that car.

Rust isn't nearly as easy to fix as people make it out to be - stay very far away from rusty Civics.

yea I would agree, and this is from experince. Just stay clear away from this car. Not worth it unless you have alot of money to fix the problems.. OR, if you just want a crappy daily driver, then go for it.

I'd be interested in that. Where is it?

If it has a good body and runs, then go for it. Even if the engine is blown, another $500 and you could put another D engine in there.

i was about to post exactly what Tom did. rust is a no-no. id buy a recently wrecked hatch w/o rust before i bought a rebuilt rusted hatch. how did they get a rebuilt title with rusted out panels? i thought that was impossible.
