hey guys well im not new to the website but new to this section and i was wondering if this is a good deal for this car? im from the 06 civic section and im loving the car but i want a cheaper car that can be my daily driver and i saw this one what you guys think? see links plz, also should their be any conserns for these 97-00 civics? any issues or anything? im not a modder im noob to all this engine modding swaps etc etc im me if you dont want to reply thanks guys

im torn between an si which is a stick only or other editions? dont flame but i havnt used stick shift since a very long time years so i dont know if i should consider it? i want black i could live with silver and i would perfer if its under the 100k mileage, i dont plan on doing engine swaps i think i would say 5gs would do it and should it be a consern about the mileage or its just a thing im going to say to my self "too many miles" whenever i see the metor?

this page has a 98 2dr black with 96k they are asking $4,990 they are doing the sopposly "invetory blowout" so maybe i can hassle them here is the website scroll down a bit and you'll see it

An automatic ex coupe badged as an Si with a wing a gymnastics team could do a dance routine on.



It's lowered for "performance"

The ABS light is on.

You'll have a cooler car if it's 100% stock. With that car you'll just be part of the "ricer" sterotype.

Especially when people hear the automatic gear change, baaaaaBAhabAbabababaaaaaaa

 

whats a good deal? the auction hasnt ended yet, the price usually multiplys at the last hour anyways. gtfo please.

it doesnt look like it has a body kit?.....

That's because we get ignorant/non-technical posts ALL the time.

I wouldn't buy that, the buyer probably won't let it go for less than the value of the "racing" mods he put on it.

Buy a stock car, you'll be replacing ricer parts anyways. Save yourself the shame/headache.

That's going to depend on your area. In my area, people think Em1's are worth their weight in gold. I've seen em1's with 150k miles on them listed for $8,000



http://www.kbb.com

They find pricing based on zip code and it's accurate IMO.

8000 for an si...you know id never pay that much ... i dont think that car the op posted is a good deal. you can find on that hasnt been raped for cheaper. maybe from a old couple or something

 

i wont be doing engine swaps or anything hevy modding towards the engine i just want somthing reliable that gets a good kick when i ask for the response so i might be adding something small I/H/E but i want to get under 100k black
and im assuming 5gs is more then enough for this kind of car? or am i off on my calculations?

 

I got my 99 Ex for 7k in very good condition.

 

I got my 97 EX in MINT condition with 100K (almost exact) miles for 5,000 even. That was after looking at about 40 different civics in my area. Took forever to find a nice one in good shape, for a decent price. Good luck. But spare yourself the pain of that ebay car, please.

 

Autotragic spoiler fake *** Si badge gay tail lights bodykit

Paint looks good though.....lol

 

You're price range is right on. I wouldn't pay anymore than 5k for a 96-00 coupe. Just keep looking around. You want to find something that hasn't been messed with in good condition. If you find that, then 5k will be right around the reasonable price. If you find something that isn't up to those standards, then offer less... knowing that you will have to put some work into it.

 

this car reminds me of S H I T

 

Get what you want, its your car. just be aware that others may criticize, its just how the world is.

The first step to overcoming any problem is admitting that you have one .

 

hey man. it all comes down to what you think. you obiously like the car and if you think its a good deal the pick it up. your the one driving the car no one else.. it is what is it basically. if you think its worth it then go ahead and pick it up bro.

only thing i would do is take the wing off swap out the tails and lower it a little and youd have a nice daily with good MPG.

as far as adding I/H/E for a lil kick like you said. dont waste your time all your goin to do is just make ot louder and maybe 3-5 HP. personaly i prefer the sound of an intake over muffler.

So good luck and do what you want!

 

its a pretty clean car just the wing and the fart can throw it off the taillights arent to bad if u like it get it. just get a stock exhuast or something along the line of a apexi world sport wich is quit couse automatic and loud eghuast sounds like *** nd its just gay

 

It's all personal preference...do you plan on using the vehicle as a Daily Driver?

 

not a good deal

 

it looks clean if you want it get it who cares what everyone else thinks, if it was me, id just take the wing off and put the stock taillights and have a blast with the car. and good luck

 

when someone can't even install a battery correctly that's a telltale sign that everything else on the car is half assed...
