Default Two cars I'm looking at, which do you think is a better deal?

This car is a lot closer to my house. Waiting to get the full details because the ad doesn't say much.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...t=300

This one has more miles but already has some mods...

What do you think?

i think you can find one with less miles. just keep looking, id say anything in the 60-70k range is good. they shouldnt be too bad on the wallet either

Well, my big problem is I don't really want to go too much over 6k. In the end a lot of stock parts are going to be upgraded anyway.

Im thinking the black one... It looks really really nice, and its not a bad price either. If you get either of the first two you said, you may have to replace the engine after a little while, so you might as well get the one that looks the best... As for the green one.. YUCK. I hate that color of green on the tegs, and Id never get one that color unless I absolutely had to.

Definitely keep looking, you can find a much better deal than that. Just keep a close eye on the classifieds. I got my 95 GSR for 5500 with 80k,original owner. I found it on eBay, then drove down to New Jersey to test drive it and seal the deal.

best thing.. go and see each car, test drive, and try to negotiate.. I would buy either of the first ones going on looks alone.. but see what has been done to the yellow one.. I'd buy the one that has been least modified and fewest owners.

miles aint that bad. I bought a 92 integra gsr from ebay with 225,000. thanks god its still running extremely great.. haven't had any major problems.. just minor tune ups and part changes.

but go and check every car.

Good Luck. DONT BE AFRAID to NEGOTIATE

The 1st one (yellow) has been repainted, so you may want to ask the owner about that. The 2nd one in the ad says diesel gas (I'm hoping that was a typo). And the 3rd one says that the car is charcoal (grey) when it looks teal or "green" me. I would say to test drive each car and check the oil appearance and any other things that you can check. Make sure the car wasn't in an accident (salvage). Lastly before you buy the car, ask the owner if you can have it "checked" by a mechanic for about $60. This is not a bad investment, considering what you may be paying for the car.
And lastly, please BARGAIN with the owner.
