lookin at a new car since my 93 hatchback's engine blew, thiers just too many additional problems with it including radiator problems and i lack a horn haha. But i was lookin at this car and wondering if thats a good price for it. Seems in amazing condition for the miles on it. Any opinions? and also might do a manual swap with this thing, good idea or bad idea?

 

i say do it! but after you tell the owner to take that ridiculous looking body kit off hahahha or you can sell it. but yea that wuld be a good buy
even though hatches are so much better!

 

lol actually this car has to last me awhile and idk if it looks that bad but i'v never modded a car before so im all new to this haha

 

it will def. last you a while its a honda!! as long as you dont do to much to the engine to try making it to be what its not, so just get stock sides and bumpers back
and then put on some jdm stuff.
then you;ll be set

 

x2, i would change back to stock tailights too, those things are ridiculous, and change back to stock body kit, thats my opinion, but its definetly worth the buy. just make sure before you but it, if you do buy it check it out in person first and see if there are any leaks.

 

yeah i made a meeting with the girl whos selling it tomorrow, i'll take pics of it with my gf's camera and post them. But the body stuff was done by the original owner and idk if these people will have those parts, i'll have to see it in person tho. So is it worth the buy? and should i junk my 93 honda civic hatchback(blown engine) or try selling the shell for money?

 

dont buy it.
Automatic.
Keep looking and you will find something better.
I looked over 3 months until i found my 97 civic hatch for $950. Car only had a bad tranny. Did the work myself and saved alot of money.
Good luck

 

Yeah find a stick, Unless you don't know how to drive them, Then learn lol!

But even tho it's a auto.. for the price it's not that bad.

 

eww

"buy my car it's got an ugly mismatched body kit and v-tech" (spelled wrong on purpose)

I wouldn't buy an auto, but I would especially not buy an auto with 200k. Honda automatic transmissions are junk, stay away from them.

 

i know how to drive stick from my last car, my problem is i need a car cause im a college student and can't keep driving my gf's car cause im not on their insurance(altho its a 2005 rsx, sweetness). and with the 1.6 in it idk if its the original engine or not, i'm seeing it today so i'll take pics of the engine and car and post them later.

 

go for it

 

Get it checked before you buy it, or check it yourself. Bodykit is nasty plus those taillights. But not a bad price I guess, make her go lower. lol.

 

Just saw 200,000 miles. lol. make her go lower.

 

Yeah i would agree with that.

 

it would cost u less to build the 93 hatch back...i personally like the hatch...spend aropund 5 bills for a complete z6 motor including tranny and ecu..ur good for a while

 

dont do it, honda auto trannies don't last very long, and 200,000 is plenty of miles for a honda. Besides, its all riced out so I doubt they took very good care of it

 

good point i second that...build the hatch

 

i check out the car today and it rides like a dream. Its feels like a brand new car! the inside is immaculate and the outside looks amazing compared to the miles on it. The breaks were done 7 months ago, timing belt when they bought it 18 months ago, tranny done right before the car was sold to them. The car has not been used regularly for the last 3 weeks since the daughter moved away. The sister showed me the car and said they drove it once or twice a week to keep it running nicely and she is goin back to florida in 2 weeks and wants to get rid of the car. She said she'd cut more money off the price of the car cause she wants to get rid of it and to call her tomorrow if i wanted it. heres some pictures of the car!
ps.-well the hatchback has more problems i'd have to fix and i dont have the money, i have to borrow money from my grandmother in order to get this car hopefully. i need somethin that runs for now until i can get the money to fix more on this car.

update in last post

 

Im always afraid of cars that look like that. But if they actually took decent care of it maybe its ok. Get it checked out definetly.

 

i love looking at sideways pictures

 

sorry i didn't have time to fix them, i'm sick as a dog since yesterday from the weird *** NY weather we've been having. and yeah i'd get someone to look over the car but i just have to make sure i can get the money together but hopefully i can and i can get the car.

 

i was just joking, no need to be sorry. lol

 

lol but anyway she gave me a txt and told me she'd wait out till the end of the week for my decision on the car and held off the other potential buyers for me which is freakin awesome. How long do ya think the engine will last till i would have to do a swap?

 

The engine doesn't really scare me, i'd be far more worried about the transmission.
