I found a 91 Civic Si in pretty good shape. It's only got a couple of door dings and a scratch on the rear bumper. It Looks good except for being that ugly teal green , but if it runs good and isn't salvaged, $1500 sounds like a pretty good price to me! I've been looking for a Civic to "play" with!

 

i think that "ugly teal gren" color is called tahitian green. that is a pretty rare color and lots of people want that color car...

 

That's cool. I looked for a long time & finally found a 90 Si hatch for $800 - needs work not to look it, though it runs strong.

 

hey if u dont like the color then u can sell me the car for 1500. ill roll in that "teal Green" Si all day long

 

if i get my car painted, itll def. be that green color :badass:, anyway, sounds like a good deal, id ****** it up if i were u

 

 

take it or I'll go down and take it.

 

Tahitan Green and Y-49 are both "polar" colors. People like them or don't. It was kind of risky for honda to produce economy cars in polar colors.

My sister ordered Tahitian green and when the car showed up she started crying right at the dealership. She passed on it and took the very next civic that came into the dealership. Lucky for me, because the car was given to me as a graduation gift, the next car in was Rio Red!

Red oNwZ Joo!

 

That color is badass but I dont see myself painting it that mmmaayybee...id buy it like that....

sounds like you got a good deal I bought my rex that has a prior salvage title with 200,000 ...for 1500...lol I got screwed but it hasnt given me any trouble yet at all.....the body was absolutley straight perfect! it was awesome just had some rust and my whole car is primered now.

 

I had a chance to inspect it closer after work. It has multiple flaws on the body... mostly minor dents and dings, scratches here and there and a very small amount of rust. It looks really good from about 10 feet, get close though and the flaws start to show. Those scratches and dents add up for someone that knows nothing about body work!

The engine is FILTHY! I mean NASTY, I've never seen one so dirty. Not oily, just dirt road type dirty, and there is pine straw all in the cowl! It's all stock, even still has the resonator attached. It runs great though and they said it doesn't use any oil.

The interior is OK, minor stitching coming loose, it's missing the fuse box cover and the rear shelf. This would be a good car to sink some money into. I'm going to try to get it for $1200 or less.

Oh yea, the A/C is broken... that's a $300 repair right there!

Does anyone have any pictures of civics that are the Tahitian Green or Y-49 color?

 

Salvaged cars are by far the best deal. $1,500 is a bit much...but anyone who knows how to fix cars knows that salvaged cars are true diamonds in the rough. The only difference between a clean car and a salvaged car is that if you try to resell your salvaged car, you wont get much for it. But if you plan on just having fun or driving around..salvaged cars cant be beat.

 

is the a/c actually broken or missing some parts, or does it just have a slight leak and needs an a/c freon charge? if the freon gets below a designated point, it'll shut the compressor off and won't come on even if you turn it on manually on the dash......so it might just need freon.
