Default Should I get this car? '95 civic

Its a 1995 Civic DX hatchback, 95k miles, CD player---$4000. Am I getting ripped off? And how are the performance upgrades for the DX?

4k is a hell of a lot for a 10 year old econobox IMO. It has low miles, but I wouldn't pay more than about half of that.

Upgrades on the DX. Close to non existant without swapping to a Z6 or smilar.

With that name of yours, I have a feeling it will turn into something very ugly and riced out.

J/K, maybe.

No, $4,000 is not worth it. I wouldn't pay more than $2,000 for it.

You can find an EX model for less than that, with the same amount of mileage. Look for something else.

OK, thanks for telling me. I wont get that one. BTW Deemee I was only gonna put suspension mods on it and some speed upgrades

Hows this one sound; '99 Civic EX sedan, 105k miles, I dont know much about It since I havent seen it yet. its $4200. If its mostly highway miles the clutch on it should be too shot right? Im thinkin thats about 20k miles per year, and the average is about 12...what do you think?

Why not? I would rather pay $3-4K for one in good condition compared to:

Buying one for $2K, that needs body work, paint job, tires, seats, timing belt etc....

All depends on the condition its in.

i would pay up to $5k for an ex coupe with no rust whatsoever....thats how much i love ej's
i could care less about the mileage on the motor, if it didnt run well... then i would swap it.
thats just my two cents

hell na way to much i dont know why people think they can get like $10,000 or something from a 10 year old car unless it has a fullybuilt motor not just a b16,18,20 or whatever but $4000 is about $15-2000 to high just wait and lookaround.

I went to check out that '99 Civic EX....get this, it's stock bumpers had cut-outs in the front and back with this white mesh netting showing through(like rice), tinted windows, aftermarket muffler. Also two aftermarket tail lights but it wasnt the entire tail light it was just the inner ones. Each bumper was spray pianted too not stock. I could make it work but taking all that rice off it would probably run me around 5-600...I'll keep looking for something more close to stock. Thanks.
