Well i have about 4-5 thousand dollars to spend on a hatchback....

im willing to buy any year between 92-00. I really want 6th gen but will accept 5th. The questions

how much did you buy your hatch for and how many miles did it have?

If i buy a car with 100-150 thousand miles for about 2 to 3 thousand dollars will it last me a year or two on that same motor before i do a swap?

How much does it cost to rebuild a stock DX or CX motor for instance... because i might want to rebuild it for longer usage and possible resell....?

Thanks in advance guys....

 

well, i got my hatch in march, for 1400 bucks... 95,000 miles, its a 1994 dx hatch.. what a bargain!! bad thing is my tranny bearings are worn out.. they rattle like a *****

 

you got a great deal man... im looking to spill around 4000 thousand for a 96 with like 120 thousand... or should i buy a 92 with like 160 thousand for like 2000 and spend the rest buying a swap ?

 

I bought a 97 for 2k with 181,000

exactly and you learn alot more DIY

 

buy a eg shell for like $500 and rebuild from there, will cost less and worth building the way you want...

 

i'll sell u mine

 

i have four to five thousand and im pretty sure yours isnt at that price... and if so thas cool. but not for me. the Shell idea is good but i dont have the time or space or knowledge to build from the shell up. I live in NYC its hard to swap and build on the sidewalk. or on my very hill-like driveway

:edit: as a matter of fact i think its illegal to do a swap or work on your car in NYC streets without a permit... i know its crazy but its true.

stupid idea i know people all the time that sell cars with fucked up motors dont do that if they had a swap that = lots of miles more than likely and sure they raced the hell out of it

 

thas what i mean.... if i buy my hatch from a 45 yr old white guy or some 25 yr old lady... they pretty sure didnt race it.


i dont wnat a car from anyone who looks like a modder or ricer

its more fun building 240sx's.

 

buy mine its a shell...youll have all the fun you want modding it lol pm me

 

buddy of mine bought a 92' cx for $2500 last summer and i bought my 99" hatch a year ago with 80k miles for $5000, it was in hella good condition. you just gotta look. I'd say you spend a little more on a car thats in good condition all around so you don't have to waste money in restoring the damn thing
