DEFINETLY kbb it. Even if it is from a dealer. Thats a steal of a price for a type s in that condition IF it has a clean title. Ive seen recon titled type s go for 8g's.

Maybe it's more riced than what the pictures show, hence the lower price.

Or a salvage title. I ran across a lot of those when looking for a late-model Civic here lately. They are just a touch cheaper than most, but not cheap enough to throw up any flags right away.

Seems decent, but I would be looking for a more stock-ish car to pay 11K.

are those CF fenders or are the fenders just painted a different color? either way, be cautious. he might of have replaced the fenders with CF ones because of a front end collision or he had to get new fenders and repaint them.

they look like carbon fiber, yet another reason why the price maybe that way.

i bought my 2002 type-s for 13k 4 months ago, only had 52k miles on it!!!

True. **** i found a 2003 civic lx for 3900 that had a str8 frame and nothing missing, just a [freak]ed up bumper... Sold too quick or ida bought it in a heartbeat.

I love the kit and the wing minus the fenders and wheels. There are a couple of A spec RSX type S running around my neck of the woods. Black, White, and Silver. I cream myself everytime.

I am not a huge fan of the stock five spokes painted. And I love the multi spoke RSX wheels. I dunno how many spokes it is exactly but I think they look better. Just my opinion, that's all.

To those of you mentioning that you failed emissions testing; why didn't you just tell the shop to cancel the test if it is to fail, so that it would not appear on the car's record? I just tell my inspector this and I have never had an issue.
