Alright, even though none of these questions directly deal with a 5th/6th gen Civic, I'm still posting it here, since I own an EG.

In the past few days I've stumbled upon a few deals that I think are great. Tell me if you think they are good or bad, and why or why not. I know its kind of a lame thread, but I'd rather learn something new before I waste some money I could otherwise use.

The first deal was offered on Saturday. Its for an 89 CRX Si with a 97 D16 motor in it. The interior is in great condition, and the exterior has Electric Blue custom paint. Three problems:

1) Two blown struts in the rear. I figured $180 in KYB AGXs.
2) Bad dizzy. $100 at a local used Honda/Acura dealer.
3) Hole in the pass. door. This is due to rust from water run-off, which I hear is common in the CRXs.

Other than that the car looks great. Needs some new tires, but for $500, deal or no deal?

The second deal was offered to me on Tuesday (yesterday). A friend of mine needs some money for whatever reason, and wants to sell me a pair of 2003 black leather S2000 seats and a 99 GSR rear leather seat. The S2000 seats come with the custom EG rails/sliders and are in very nice condition. Almost mint. The catch is that he wants my cloth EG seats.

In exchange for my 94 EX seats and $400, I'm getting a pair of excellent S2000 seats and a GSR leather rear seat. Deal or no deal?

The third deal was offered to me about a month ago. It is for an 88 Accord LXi. Two door, auto tranny, fuel injected, white, AC, PS, PW, PL, sunroof. The interior and exterior are both immaculate. However, a blown A20 motor. He is throwing in a used A20 motor from a junkyard that was good running before it was pulled.

So for a blown 88 Accord LXi in good condition and a used motor to swap, he is asking $500 as well. Deal or no deal?

Sorry it was so long, but I'm sure some of you will be able to help. Thanks for reading all of this.

and i dont really like s2k seats but if you like them I'd say deal. besides, there's no catch. stock civic seats are worthless. I kept mine just in case i ever needed the rails</TD></TR></TABLE>

Says who? My stock seats probably aren't worthless, but hell, what do I know?

I'd say get the CRX. It seems to be in decent condition, considering. Unless you really want the seats. I wouldn't even look at the Accord. But in the end, it's up to you.

 

I would go with the s2000 seat deal

 

Not liking the CRX deal, body work will cost you an arm and a leg.

S2K seat is a pretty good deal I think, ****, I'll take the S2K seats if you don't want them.

Not really into accords, it's a nice car, but are you looking for another one?

 

i say deal on both, but i'm in california. those CRXs are worth like $1500-2000 here haha.

i think the S2000 seats are worth it too, the EG seats are worthless. do it

 

the seats would be a deal if you like how they fit you. personally, I hate how they fit me.
