hey guys..i work with this guy..he has a 98 civic hatchback..not sure the model(i know it helps to know).he says its mint and hes never beat on it..has 130,000 miles.motor is blown because he cracked his intake and dirt got in..its automatic.hes asking 2k.i dunno if thats a good price or not..ive always wanted a hatch as a project car(my current is a 99 si with b18c1).im not expecting much out of it.just wondering if its worth it.thanks

 

Try talking him down to $1500

 

well it all depends how the body, exterior, and if it is salvage, but I agree to lower the price

 

he said its clean title.is it hard to renew a engine that got dirt in it

thats bs, you would have to literally spoon-feed a motor dirt to blow it up, 20 bux says he hydro locked it.
