Today i found a 90' Civic STD
4 speed manual
the price was $1150
and said: *Needs New Engine?
*Runs Great?

the lot was closed so i couldnt talk to anyone

some rust on arms, slight rust on left rear quarter panel, but was painted over
no dents

and im wondering what i should offer

keep in mind im 16, so im still learning about Honda engines
so does it have a D15B1 stock?

sounds too much for a car that needs a new motor, i don't know how you want us to estimate how much to offer for the car when we don't have pics to decide on.
do you have any?
1150 sounds like too much for a shell

 

i didnt bring my camera, but im going up again 2morrow with it

that depends what trim ist it??(Si,Dx,STD,)

 

how could it "need a new engine", but still "run great"?

also, it won't have a B15B1.

 

its a STD

 

also i have no clue how it can run great and need a new engine, idk if they meant new engine and just wrote the wrong thing

 

then it has the D15b1
not the B15b1
its cool doode like you said your new to honda

thats probably what they mean that it has a new engine
when you go to take pics make sure you read it good
and if there asking 1150
i know for a fact they will take 900-1000
so make an offer

Oh yea lol...i meant to write "D"
lol thanks

 

hahaha yeah ever one make typos ever now and then lol

 

i originally was trying to find an EK
but hard to find em in the Chicago area, at least a stock one

 

lol yeah there hard to find period stock or even for a good price hahahaha
but get the EF you will be much coooooooler

 

cuz most of my friend have oldschool Hondas and Integras,...and ive always had a liking for the EF series

and especially when they're done right

 

Went to car lot, Engine needs a new piston ring so is burning oil and is driveable until i get part
talked down to $900 cash

 

walk away. unless they give it to you for $200 cash.

 

The guy who i talked to told me for $1700 he would install a new D15B1 and sell me the car...said no to that

besides the rust on the arms, the body was in very good condition, interior was nearly mint

Engine wasnt to good, idled fine but u could defintely tell the oil was burning, and also the 200k miles already on it worried me

i was thinking for the time being i could just buy a D16 and at least have 100HP instead of the stock 70hp-1 cylinder, at least until i make enough for a B-Series swap

 

lol.. hope you laughed in the guys face for saying hed put a d15b1 in for 1700.... unless thats including the price of the car. if youv got a d16 then offer 300 cash and drop that thing in.

 

he said it was including price of car
but i really dont want to to get another weak *** D15 in it.
He showed me the place were he gets his D series from for cheap, but i still dont know what im going to do yet...
but i know he wont take $300 cash

maybe at least $800

also DX's have 5 speed manuals right?
and STD's are 4 speed manuals?

yes std is 4 speed.. another downside.

 

well now i know this guy was trying to BS me by saying it was a DX, cuz it was a 4 speed
im gonna pass this one up

I'd say that was a very good pass...
