here is some pics of a car i went and looked at tonight.

1994 civic lx
183k,5 sp.power w/L,cruise

Overall im pleased with the car. the interior is MINT, i mean clean as ****.enough talk,on with the pics.




what im most concerned with.this rust would have to be fixed now. i have extra money after i buy the car to get it fixed, but i dont know how much its going to cost.

also,looks like a leaky head gasket.ill have to replace that with a metal unit and a vtec head


other than that, the car is nice.the seller wants $2200.the blue book is $1995 in fair condition.Oh, also the front brakes need replacing.Im going to offer him $1400 and work from there.tell me what you think
btw,this is going to be my daily driver.so this can stay in the garage

 

lol good luck with that offer, if i were selling a car listed at $2200, id laugh at someone that offered 1400, thats like 25% off

 

 

just talked to the guy, wants to sell right away. and if youve ever bought a car, you set a starting price and offer and counter offer from there.

 

Honda does not offer just the dog leg as a part, so if you wanted the rust spots fixed correctly both quarter pannels would have to be replaced. The quarter pannels are cheap but the labor $ucks. If its for a daily beater its just not worth it. Your project car rocks!

seriously, i would laugh and probably not talk to you again if you offered $1,400. but its up to you.

as for the car looks pretty good. talk to a body shop and get a rough estimate on how much they would charge to has the rust cut out and welded up.

 

i dont think im out of line for starting the bidding at $1400. id be happy to walk away with the car for under $1900.As far as the rust is concerned,im going to find a donor car at the yard and cut the metal out and take it to a shop and have them do there thing.i got $3000 to work with and some fat fives and some **** sittin in the garage,so she would be a respectable daily driver.

It's a rust bucket. It's leaking at the head. It needs brakes replaced. $1400 seems like a very appropriete number to start at for negotiating on a car like that.

bump

 

stock headgaskets are metal btw

 

lol i'd say 1400 is too HIGH. i just picked up a 4 door, making a it kind of a race car, kinda DD, for $100 with no rust, just rear 1/4 damage, and it's not even that bad, of coarse mine is a shell and needs tons of work, i think it will go togetehr for under 1400 for sure.

P.S. poor ej1
