Default Im about to purchase a car (EF9)from japan, i dont know if im getting a good deal or not...HELP

okay, heres the info

1991 Right hand drive civic hatchback SiR
B16a motor, with Jasma header
All body panels are good, including the bumpers(sidemarkers, wrap around bumper lenses)
Fold in mirrors
Interior is in good condition, it comes with tan/yellow seats even the rear head rest seats, even the dashboard and the paneling, i dont know why its that color, but it looks stock, carpet is even tan??? ooo it even has a armrest
It comes with Mugen MR-5s 15" (gunmetal)
Disk brakes in the rear(weird)
Jasma exhaust
Paint is really clean
Mid wing
side skirts(neverseen)
Mugen steering wheel
Mugen ECU

i asked the guy if the paneling was colored or painted and he said no..he told me that it was a special edition in japan, should i believe him cause hes japanese?. the car does not even look like its been taken apart. the color of the car is dark blue. motor looks clean and all, hes askin $13,500usd. it only has 13000km on the tach. pretty much looks new. PLEASE HELP..i dont know if thats alot for a car in this condition. im new to this forum so i dont know how to post a pic, but i need some quick advice. thanks in advance

its probably a special edition... its not worth 13k though... maybe about 7-8k including shipping...

he told me hes getting a lot of offers for more, but he said he'll give it to me for 13500, this car is not dirty at all, looks like its been sitting, i think 13000km=7800mi, thats pretty good for a91 though. ive only seen it once and i fell in love with it fast.

no way you are paying that much!!!

FYI even the EG SiR fully loaded and in mint condition tops goes for roughly 4k USD at the current conversion rate. of course not including shipping.

you can tell that guy he's on crack

Sounds like an awesome car, almost too awesome... but i believe that he jacked up the price on you a bit...

he told me hes getting a lot of offers for more, but he said he'll give it to me for 13500
why would he sell it for less if he's getting higher offers?

although, the cars in jdm autoland are around that price...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOO MUCH you should be able to get that ride for much less EF-9's over here in Japan go for about 1800~4000 USD and the later being with a crazy amount of tuning parts ect ect..Now if that was a EF-8 then ... they tend to go for about 5000~7000 USD .! Also one more thing the EF-9 Civic never came in Dark Blue..!! and 13000km hmmm for a car thats that old...No Way!! Just because he's Japanese doesn't mean that he's not "SHADDY"..Man there's a shitload of people in Japan try'n to get a quick but from someone..
BUYER BEWARE!!!

..if you've got that much $$ to spend on a rex...you could build up pretty much anything you wanted. $13k in a rex is a hell of alot of money....
