i think its an ok price, but if you look around you can find one much better for that price. i looked at a 98 ex for like 7500 with average miles, but i looked harder and found a 95 ex with 54k ok the motor, lowered, rims, air intake, exhaust, euro taillights for 3500. i would look a little longer..

First off mods are great but has the car been taken care of? Find out about the service history. On time oil changes,timing belt replaced in the last 60 k miles,brake pads/shoes/rotors been replaced recently, if it's a manual have the cv- axles been replaced? These are deffinately factors you need to be worried about on a car with that many miles on it at that price. Unless you wanna end up spending more money in repair bills soon after you get the car.
Good luck Keep us informed

well thanks for all the replies ^_^ I have no clue how it was treated but when i drove it. it felt like there was nothing wrong except the need of new tires besides that and also there is some noise when i hit bumps on the road because of the springs but i think that would be normal right?

Id probably pay that much... GSR seats are really nice, the noise when hitting bumps im pretty sure is normal, if its all in nice condition, id probably get it if I were you. I know you fcould probably find something cheaper, but itd be hard to find something that is in as good as shape as that...

I only paid $3,075 for my EG EX back in March a few years ago. However I worked for the dealer, so I got the hook in a sense. This price included $700 for a complete D15B swap. BTW No A/C from the factory, just how I like it. 56K at that time on the car.

I personally would never buy a car that has been fooled around with...If I were you and you had some mechanical abilities i would but a stock one and do the mods yourself

1) i would run car fax even though they dont pick up everything u may find something out
2) ive never heard of every 50k the light comes on my friend and i have civics and when that millage came around for both of us ours didnt come on...

This car sounds like it may be problems and the guy is trying to lie to you to get you to buy it...be very careful ive seen people get screwed like this
