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.
Ive never priced out Special editions from japan, but ive seen CRX Exclusives go for 6-7 plus shipping
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...
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!!!

jasma does not produce anything this is like a CARB sticker in cali.
My g power tanabe exhaust has the jasma plates on it.

..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....
