Default Buying my 2nd car opinions plz (nooB)

This is the 2nd car I will have owned, but I don't know if the prices are reasonable or so. One is 1997 civic dx hatchback, it's a virgin never modded and has 76k on the dash. The exterior is flawless and overall great looking car price is $5000 obo The other is 1993 civic si with 90k and has oem fogs also very clean and has skunk2 coilovers, dc headers, energy bushings, brospeed exhaust and misc.
no rust on either car, both black. I gave my gf my 98 hx to use til we can find an alternative. Bad family on her side

Any help is greatly wanted i like both but I will using it as DD for the summer til I buy a car of lesser value.

I would go for the 97,its newer,no mods,easier to sell on later if you want and if you do mod it you'll know exactly whats done yourself..

I'd get the 97 hatch. I love the eg's but they are getting pretty old.

$4800 for the Si? Ha ha! Worth $3k, IMO. I'd go with the 97 DX. Wish it were closer, because I'd probably buy it.
