the original owner of a 1995 integra LS 5spd..who purchased the car new in 1995 is selling the car for 1,800 with 180k ... the car is stock and runs great... but is the car worth it?... only thing is a dent on the trunk but everything else is fine besides that..i just need opinions becuase i just sold my 94 integra ls automatic

 

this is my opinion..wen i look for a car...i look for a "new" like car...in other words...180k is not new for me...that is really old..i just bought a car in early january that had 83k on it for 6 g's...thought that was kinda old...they say imports last forever..but if u take care of it..i'm pretty sure it'll last the most around 210k...so in conclusion...unless ur gonna replace the engine in there, don't get it...plus even if u did...u can't forget about the suspension...and even if u replace that too...what about the chassis? left me questioning...there was a car that i coulda got for 9500...it was a 97 ls...chassis and suspension had 140k on it....new si-r motor in there wit 40k....never took it cuz of the condition of everything else...so basically, put urself in my shoes and think under my eyes...i'm not suggesting anything...just making sure u see all points of views good luck tho dude

 

Thats great way to look at it..but money is an issue also, but thanks i will check that car more in detail now

lol chassis may be old but it aint gonna SHATTER to peices while your randomly driving... there should be NO problem with the chassis unless rust is eating the hell out of it, but agreed that engine may be a bit too old

if you have the money you can overhaul the block for ~1k or less and buy some new suspensions and what not

 

haha obviously it won't shatter..but then again..i've seen cars lifted to the point where it looks like the chassis is rust...and to be honest...we took a sledge hammer and gave one part of the chassis a few small blows...literally went through one side of it..that **** is expletiveed up

 

the timing belt was replaced 2years ago... it has new axles and ball joints,,and control arms..no rust...new shocks... all this was done in within the past 2 years.. im test drivin it tomoro...

 

aight this is what i say...if you really like it...get it...but before u make the final decision...get it on a lift and check out underneath...that's what i did...it'll tell you a lot...trust me...only problem i had wit under my car is the headers were so expletiveed up...everytime the guy hit a bump on the ground, he'd hit the headers..so now the bottom of the 4 - 1 are expletivein flat...need to replace those soon..like i said, get it on a lift...then once you've seen the engine n everything else, make ur choice...but remember, patience dude, there are always more fish in the sea...okay that sounds kinda gay

 

Ok thank you for your help.. i have the benefit of my step dad that owns a repair shop so it will be on a lift ..thank you

 

take it to an auto zone and have then run a Engine check its for free

 

no rust = safe
up to you from that point on

autozone gives free engine checks? impossible who checks your engine for free...

autozone only checks the engine light for 96 and up ..when i went they said only OBD2

 

why not just buy a code scanner? there like 50 bucks at walmart, or autozone.

 

Bought my Teg with 170,000 miles on it for 1200. Engine ran perfect except for a little oil leak and oil burn. But I was planning on rebuilding anyways so I didn't care. 180k is not alot for a B18 to run excellent.
