Hi, right now i am looking at getting a 1997 GSR which has 125,000 miles. i just got back from test driving it and it was great. the guy gave me all the maintenance records, which was from the same dealership dating back to 1997. it seems like he really took care of this car, got things replaced BEFORE the recommended mileage...that sort of thing.

i noticed that where the spare tire is, there was a small pool of water. it was not rusty, it didn't seem like it was sitting there a long time, it didn't smell, and the carpet covering was not wet. where the heck did this water come from? could this be a big deal?

thanks!

 

either the tail light gaskets or the sun roof drain tube is clogged. thats the 2 most common causes of water in the trunk in the g3 integra.

^exactly.
it is a fairly common but minor problem for these cars.

 

update (if you care)

this car was really really REALLY well maintained. i thought i took care of my last car (celica)...but my other car did not look this good at 125k.

by the way, this was the guy's wife's car, he drove an s2000. the guy and his family are obsessed with hondas (NEW civic SI, s2000, and a Fit?? never heard of it) i actually saw him on the road during rush hour the next day haha!! any ways, heres a quick pic:



oh and thanks for the repleis!

 

I would say the sunroof tube other wise the carpet would be wet i had the same problem whn i bought my car in the rain.

 

this happened to me.. the car is a 95 LS it had a 00 tailight installed by previous owner.. the tailight was leaking.. so sealed it with silicone all around tailight.. been waterproof since..

 

oops, forgot to mention i bought it. i did notice condensation in the right taillight. but, the guy did remove the stock antenna with one that you pull up manually (couldn't been that too). anyways, im prety happy with it!! :D

thanks again.

 

As it's been mentioned above chucko, very common problem...Get some new tail light gaskets from your Acura dealership...And see if that works for you bro...

 

Yeah it happen to any 94-01 Integra "once" you replaced your taillights!
