Default i need opinions!

Hi everyone!
I don't have a honda of any sort yet... but im getting rid of my car and purchasing a honda. I'm wondering everyones opinions on what is the best honda for my money... i really like EG hatchs and EK hatches... but i can hardly find EG hatches for sale where i am currently located, i know of an EK for sale but its 5995 bucks for a 96... what should i do? should i wait for an EG which is my favorite or buy the EK. IMO ek's are just as nice but for some reason i see a LOT of cleaner eg's then i ever have ek's

open to all sugestions
thanks everyone!

haha, who knows.... the dealership only posted pix of the outside, it is dropped quite a bit, but as for the motor i have no clue... you can see the exhaust is aftermarket but dats about it... lmao. of course i would try to "low-ball" it a little, 6 grand isnt worth dat... im trading in a 97 camry v6 wit a 135k miles so anything is better than that.

keep looking and you will find what you want for a lot cheaper, if your patient you can find a clean eg for 3k or less and then put the rest into mods that you want

that's way too much to buy a project car for.

keep looking elsewhere to find something that will suit your build needs and price.

the only reason i was looking at it is because its from a dealership and i could prolly just trade in my car with them for it, i'd much rather have an eg... BUT on the other hand theres not many ek's here in reno... well not many clean ones... so it's nice to be different too... prolly just doing a daily swap anyways, LS... b16.. something like that... i mean of course i'd wanna go all out wit it too but just dont got the money or the job at the moment you know? lol...

thanks for the opinions if anyone else has anything to add then be my guest
thanks again!

i say put a for sale sign on ur car and keep hunting for what u really want..when u find it dont jump on it , get second opinoins from people you know that have knowlage about hondas so they can see something u might miss , be verry carful alot of dealers are scammers from hell.

Good Luck.

Sell your Camry privately. You'll get more for it that way. Then, you can still have some money left over for some mods once you get the new car.
