Its a good price, but not the best. I'm skeptical about the nitrous kit, I would check the engine thoroughly to make sure it has no internal damage. See if you can bargain it down to $2500, then it would be a steal.

 

if you were in fl a guy at the track is selling his 89 crx with a b18 dohc vtec for $4000.oo.its ******* show room shape.no dents rust perfect paint.$3500 is not to bad.offer him $2800.or $3000.00.thats it.for that car.

 

Like they said, definitely not the best car for that price.

 

I spoke to the guy through email, Sounds like he did everything well. Really all it needs is some minor dents fixed and paint on the outside. I might go look at it tomorrow. He says Hes a certified mechanic, So the chances of everything being done right are pretty good, What are seom things I should look for when I go see it?

Thanks

 

Do a compression test it wont take more than 10 minutes,

 

Those are the ones to watch out for, most mecanics I know are so burned out from working on other people's cars that they end up cutting corners or neglecting their own.

 

Paint job reminds me of easter-egg-dipping.

As for him being a certified mechanic...ask to credentials...be wary...I could say I'm one for all you know.

Don't buy it without test driving, and have a mechanic check it out.

 

why doesn't everyone read the description in the auction before they start bashing the car? I went and checked it out today. He offered to show me a compression test on all cylinders. And by the way he is certified. I think its a nice car and its FAST. didn't drive it with the spray, but it doesn't need it. just needs some minor body work and paint. It will look awesome once the whole car is EBP. the jambs and under the hood came out nice. Kinda wanted a 5th gen civic, but I might consider getting this one

 

i was thinking the same thing

 

wow, if it were closer and i ghad teh $ id buy it even considering the crappy paint

 

it looks that way because the door jambs were painted and the rest of the car has yet to be painted, must admit, whoever gets it, its gonna look badass when the whole car is Electron Blue pearl. I won't be buying it now because I got screwed out of my insurance money, but if anyone else was looking at it, Its a solid car, no rust, interior is good, fast as hell, I would say good buy for $3500

 

I would never buy anything from ebay, I have had some bad experiences.
