Default should i do this? what do yall think?

well i was just looking in the iwanna and there was a 89 civic hatch with front end damage on it. I called and talked to the guy and he said he hit something and it bent the motor mount or something. he wants $300 obo i told him i would gave him a $100 sat and he said ok... should i go with it?? i have never seen the car all he knows is its a 1.5. i have a 89 civic shell in the yard should i get that one in the iwanna and put the motor in my other car and use the one out of the iwanna for parts and stuff??? thought i would see what yall thought so let me know something...

How does the rest of the car look, inside, outside, under the hood, suspension. The reason I ask, is would the $100 cost of the car be worth dragging it back home if the motor didn't run, or there were other problems that were not disclosed. If there are parts on it that you could transplant to improve your shell other than just the motor, by all means do it. If the motor is all you want, check ebay for a cheap USDM used motor for less or even get a JDM from Hmotors.

Just my $.02

Do it, nothing wrong with having a $100 parts car.

for that little of money I wouldnt worry about what it looks like or its problems. I would pay that much for just about anything that runs So I could at least beat the **** out of it myself maybe enter it in a demo derby. jajaja
