98 Honda Civic DX, 2 door, 5 speed, AC, power steering, 133k miles, good condition, clean title

The price is $3900
I am going to testdrive this car this weekend, along with the 95 dx w 140k miles for 2.2k USD. Assuming both cars run well and are in good condition, which would you choose. Im thinking the 98 would be beter since its newer...any imput is appreciated. Also tell me what to look out for on the 6th gen.

 

I'd get the 98. Just becasue its newer and i like the body styling better.

 

Yeah that is what I was kinda thinking as well. Anyways, what are some "faults" i need to look out for in the 6th gen?

 

All I know is manual window regulator.

 

get the 98.....EG's are ugly

check for the headlights and tailights...they fog up alot...and check the windows. they come off the track alot...

 

Okay cool. Anything else?

 

I'd go earlier, just because I rather have an older car that doesn't have to pass any emissions or CEL tests

but that's just a pref of mine, what I would do...u should go with the 98 if u have the budget

 

Definitely the 98 as long as it runs nice and is in decent condition

 

Okay cool cool thanks. What are some problems, if any, that the 6
th gen coupes have that I should watch out for?

 

cracked exhaust manifold, right by the o2 sensor.. . not a big problem, you can just get it welded

 

Anything else?

 

 

 

i would go EG just because of being obd1. obd2 sucks for tuning.

That is what the conversion kits are for silly.

If they are both hatches, go for the ek, if they are coupes, go for the eg.

That is easy to fix, most people think it's just the regulator.

I say get the 98 all the way!

Well in CA all cars newer than 1973 have to pass smog.

 

Cool thanks. Anything else before I go drive it this weekend?

Don't act too exicted when you see it, check for everything and ask a lot of questions!

yea do not become attached to the car. If you do you might end up with the shittiest car ever.
