Default would you but this?

Alright guys, a family friend who owns a garage by me has a 93 dx sitting around. The only things wrong with it are that the engines shot (overheated) and it's rather high milage (200,000+). He only wants 400 for it and i'm wondering about opinions on it, its a 5 speed with a good tranny and the interiors pretty nice as well with a little honda rust on the quarters, no accidents that i know of. So would this be a good car to do a mini-me to? Or just replace the original engine and sell it again?

like b16Drag said you could flip it and make a few bucks on it, but if you have aspirations for a build of your own that's not a bad deal either. I'd say either way go for it.

Swap with a working D16 and flip it for more money on your end.

yea i've been thinking i'm going to get it. the rust isn't bad at all, it's still under the paint and the car is totally stock. i'm thinking i'll probably put either a d15 back in or maybe go with the d16 idea and flip it

Either way, it's a pretty good deal. B7s aren't too bad of engines if you lighten the car a little and put a Z6 exhaust manifold on or a header. Post pictures, I want to see.
