Default Should I buy? Good deal? What do u think?

1996 HONDA CIVIC DX COUPE
>red, 157,113 mi, tilt, air, 5 spd std, air bags, 2 dr, CD, 4 cyl,
Blaupunkt MP3000 MP3, commuter car, interior and exterior in
very good condition, upgraded Blaupunkt MP3000 CD/MP3 with
upgraded Panasonic speakers all around, runs great,
New muffler, $3300.

And he said it might need new front tires so hes gonna knock
the price down a bit...and the clutch is good, all highway
driving...interior and exterior look very very good cond.
he'd prolly go down to 3000 i bet....look:

yeah, he said he drove to work in it every day on the highway, so engine not abused, not much shifting on highway....and interior is great cause he was the only one ever in it....paint looks great too...too bad its a dx and the hp is 105 lol..at least its 5-speed: little bit faster

looks real clean and sounds like a good deal make sure you drive it and listen for any unusual noise since its 150k+ and alos get more info on the timing belt and water pump(when it was changed)either way its a good deal

Looks good!!! Knock down the price to 3000 or less if u can, tell him you will take it on the spot for that price. You can get a nice, cheap D series with low milage for like 600 or less, just look around. and your set.

the only things i would be conscious of are the brakes and timing belt/water pump, and cv joints.

that car is a steal. 3300 is a great price. who cares if it has a dx and underpowered, whatever, itll still be fun to drive.

Great deal... even at 3300 or 3500. If you do get it.... consider a mini-me swap.
