Default Not sure whether to buy an EF hatch nearby or not.. opinions wanted

hey everyone, im 16 dont have a car yet but definitely want a ef civic hatchback for my first car. i'd prefer an si but ive found a red hatch (not si, either dx or std) thats sellin for 1000 obo and says "runs great" on the windshield. i looked at it and its a stick, either a 4 spd or 5 spd, most likely 5. has been slammed in the front (i think cut springs) and pretty low in the back. not sure of the mileage. interior seems fine except for a tear on the drivers seat, left side. has a pretty nice dent in the right front quarter panel, however in the back seat of the car is a already painted right front quarter panel, appears to be brand new. why the owner hasnt installed it and then sell it, i dunno. does not APPEAR to have any rust, and the paint seems pretty shiny. ive always wanted a hatch, but buying a dx/std model = slow as hell until i can swap in another motor and tranny, which might be a while. i currently have about 700 saved up to buy my first car, do you think i should borrow some and offer a little under 1000?

ok thanks i think i should too. installin the quarter panel might be a bitch, and im def. gonna want the car higher in the front. yes i know it sounds weird to say that, but as low as its sittin now it wont clear a speed bump at 5 mph, let alone a pot hole or small dip in the road. lol
