Default Should I get this EG coupe?

Manual transmission, Dual airbags, new brakes, brand new tires with 80k mile warranty, after-market JVC CD player. 210k miles on the car but we expect another 100k. I have changed the oil as recommended, and taken great care of the car since we bought it. It does not have AC, and I am moving to Texas in August, I dont need AC here, but I certainly will there... plus I don't want to have to pack it down there. power steering. dent on hood behind bra.

I have used this car to commute with, it gets great gas mileage, and it runs EXCELLENT!!!

asking 2500.

I offered him 1700 and he said no. He said the lowest he will do is 2250. but I'm only gonna give him 2200. yes or no?

2500, its pink, its a dx, and it has 200k on it. No way. you were smart on offereing 1700. most i would do is 1800.

What the **** are you talking about? The pictures show that the purple coup is clearly a manual transmission.

I think it has way too many miles for that price. Try again to go lower, explain the high miles, the dent, etc.. If he still won't go down, then just look for another one, you'll find a better one for a better price anyway.

Uhm, no, it's EJ.

And no, I wouldn't pay $2,200 for a DX Coupe with 210k on it. I bought my DX Sedan, MINT condition, 1 owner, 116k, yada yada yada for $2,500. When I say MINT, I mean MINT.

I would say bring cash and offer him the highest you will go. Most people like the "I get the money right now" kind of deal. Thats how I got my car for $600 cheaper than the asking price.

EJ is a coupe in US. EG is a hatch in Japan.

And as previously posted: too many miles for too much money. Try to talk him down again, if he won't budge, walk away.

Is that cheap for your area? I paid 2400.00 for my 4 door only because it was the best price at the time and all the other civics were being snatched up right quick. I also needed it ASAP for commuting.

Just offer 2 flat cause its purple\pink.
