What do you guys think?

I am thinking about buying a 1998 Civic EX that has had an entire Type R drivetrain installed. From the motor, tranny, brakes, ECU, everything. It is a VERY clean car. Also has an entire Prothane bushing kit, brand new Tokico 5-ways, Eibach springs, 3 sets of wheels in cluding a set of slicks, 2 new carbon hoods, and a lot more.

I have driven this car on several occasions as the present owner is one of my best friends. I have raced in it too. The thing is a dream.

He is asking $15,900 from everyone else, but would sell it to me for $13k.

Good investment?

 

not bad! but do you what the cars been thru ,sometimes they get abuse and then people want to get rid off it !

 

just buy it.

 

No, A car like that is not an "investment". But yes if your looking for something fun.

 

I wouldn't. I would get a 98 type r for like 16K. that way, when you want to sell it down the road, you will get more money.

plus it looks better.

 

15k for a `98 civic?

honestly at the end of a day its just a civic......this coming from a civic owner

save that cash, add some more and find yourself a `98 or so ITR, which chances are wont have been ragged on as much as this ex/hybrid

good luck bro

 

Thanks guys for the thoughts.

 

13k is a very good price for what your getting.
