yeah i agree just knowing its an ls vtec i.m.o means that that motor has been raced many times and common its an ef that prolly the chasis has too many miles too its not worth it buy yourself a shell and build it yourself it might be bit more expensive but u know its gona be reliable depending in what motor u pu it...etc.

a friend got a clean eg all stock good running stock motor and clean title for 1500 and he bought a 30k b16 swap for 1800 and suspension for 700 plus misc. stuff???

ya but you guys have to remember i dont have the skills to do a swap or pretty much anything to major. if i got the car for maybe 4 grad then it might be a good deal. im just looking for something with a little power but i can still drive it every day with Honda reliability

Definitely too much. If you want to spend $5K, get an EK (1996-2000 Civic). Otherwise, I'd get an EG for $2-3K.

you can throw reliability out the door. odds are you are buying another mans problem.

find a stock vehicle way cheaper. do research and built it to your liking.
