Default Just bought another Civic!

It is not perfect, but it's what I was looking for. $3800 for a 96 EX 5 speed in black. The person I bought it from was the original owner who bought it with 16 miles on it. They said that the dealer sent them post cards for advice on maintainence and they followed that religiously whenever they sent them. The belts were squeaky, but I just lubed them up so that will be a temporary fix. The guy at goodyear thinks I should replace all three belts (T-belt was done at 90k). With labor it will be $152, Do you think I should do that?

I have 2 helms manuals (going to ebay one) for the 96-00 civics, so I will be following that, assuming that they did all required maintainence needed by mileage. The tires are also nearly bald, handling sucks (also because of rain) right now. I have a nearly new set of winter blizzaks for the up coming winter, then I will probably get some nice longlasting all seasons or somthing for the summer.

I'll get pics up as soon as I get them on my computer.

You dont really need to change the 3 aceessory belt, but if you do...just do it yourself and save. Its a super esay DIY job, even easier with the helms you got.
