Heres what i have my eye on:
1998 Honda Civic EX Coup
66000 miles
Stock everything (not for long!)
'Wheels' (Those pretty ugly 3 prong ones)
5 speed manual
No cd player (Also, not for long)
power everything, sun roof
Dark green
$8300

As far as i can tell everything is in good working order, the car is kinda messy, but if i buy it it will be back in ship-shape condition very soon.

Anything i should look for when driving it around? Is it worth its asking price?
Thanks for any comments!

Im looking forward to having a good time while here!

 

talk it down, i have the same car color and all i bought it w/ 70,xxx and only paid around 6k (all stock). if you can get it cheaper go for it

 

Check http://www.kbb.com or http://www.edmunds.com for a fair price. That seems a little high for that year. Especiallly if its not from a dealer.

 

FRAM FILTER!!

 

Yah, the seller is actually a teacher at my high school! Hes selling because he has 2 small kids, needs more room.
The blue book on it is around $9500, so i consider his asking price fair.
I wonder if i could get him to keep the 3 spoke rims and give me stock what ever and take off 100-200$... ugh

It has a large crack accross the windshield, but he would replace it if i buy.

 

Thats def too much for that price, I would def talk him down I bought my 99 ek hatch for 5k in perfect shape....look around for a better deal.

 

yeah thats kinda high.
You can almost get an 99-00 SI with the famous B16a already!!

 

what does everyone recomend i start at? My first time buying a car, i have little idea how it all goes!

 

do a car search at http://www.cars.com in your area so you get the idea of how much people in your area sells and buys for.
