Hey guys im 16 and im trying to buy an DA, I need to know what price should I be looking for and how many miles should I expect on the engine.

 

most will be high mileage, and you can find them for all prices. i bought mine for 1200 with 174000 miles. the body was pretty clean and the guy thought the motor was blown. it wasnt and i fixed it, but he thought it was. i would approximate 2500 for a decent running car.

 

yea 2500 is how much i paid for mine.....and nothin was really wrong with it...just the original owner was a retard.....another thing to check....make sure nothing is majorly wrong with it...but you will love the DA lol

 

If you're interested in a DA, I have one. Hit me up, I'm in Athens. I would be happy to help.

 

I bought my 1990 with brand new paint and 150K for 2400. It had a few problems but easy fixes. Dont pay much more than that for one in average/good condition.

 

i bought my DA for $900

good:129k motor all stock,new tranny (so it runs/drives perfect) rims/lowered/after maket stereo and speakers
Bad:the hood,roof and trunk has chipped paint

Just really depends who the seller is.

here's some pic

 

i got mine for 500 with minor suspension mods...and the body and interior are mint...got it from some girl in her 20s

bump...

 

thats the motor i want to put into my DA, im curious to, if it will be a simple swap

 

^^I'm guessing everything was in PERFECT condition huh?

 

PLEASE! Stop before you put a B16 in your DA. It isnt worth the time or effort unless you have big plans for it. ~135whp in a DA is slow, esp. when you have to wait til 6K for any of it. I have ridden in a B16 swapped DA with bolt ons and i was severely dissapointed. Go big or go home. Either turbo the LS or swap a B18C or LS/VTEC or something other than a B16. Now, i know this has been covered a 1000 times and its a huge debate. So, yes, a B16 DA wont be the end of the world... but it will be slow unless you build the **** out of it or turbo it. If you just want to say "I have VTEC", then by all means swap the B16. But, if you want to go fast(er)... and im assuming you do, then save your money and get something better. Just my .02

 

paint 2000 for mine Rs two years ago 177000 on the clock

I will boost it i just want like...240whp.Its gonna be my daily driver.

 

then a B16 is your ticket for cheap power. Stock block power kicks ***

 

I paid $1500 for my 1994 LS with 273k, needed a tune up, timing belt/water pump, and a radiator.
