Id prolly offer him around $2000, it does look pretty clean. The only thing that bothers me is that they had to put a new engine in at 140,000 miles which is not many miles for a honda. Makes you wonder if they just beat the **** out of the car.

Well looking closer, it says vtec engine, which means they must have swapped in like a d16z6 or something. I would try and find out more info on the car for sure.

Damn, I love those 94 hatchbacks so much.
Sooo clean!
Only thing about it is exactly what thi3v3z said. Replacing
an engine that soon is definitely a red flag.

Looks really nice, though. Makes me want to go out and find one
right now.

I'd pay two Gs for one that clean.

2g seems a little sucky for a rebuilt d16z6 and rims on it, no rust either

lowest i think the owner would go is 2200-2300

Cool man I like it and it's red =P But I personally dont like EG's I see them everywhere. But think of it like this.

Where else are you going to find a "cool car" with low milage for $2500? I work at a dealership and we sell used cars, and you wont believe how much we charge for pieces of crap with insane mileage.

you can see it has no ac. you must wonder why it has a different engine in it. I have a 95 with a d16z6 in it stock with 247000 miles on it and I can still count on it everyday to beat turbo diesel trucks. something is wrong with that car. maybe they did an auto to manual conversion. is there a tach in the instrument panel?

Shut up. I can get a new A/C for $900. Just because it has no A/C doesnt mean it's a POS the car is sexy.

<::*i cant spell so get over it*::>

new engine is most liky cuz they wanted v-tec, thats what i did with my eg8, all so having no a/c is sooo commen, cuz that **** brakes all over the place, when i got my car there were holes and leaks every were in the a/c lines, and the compreser didnt work, so it was trash.

and if it is a "clean title", still look it over very well, cuz you dont have to report all your crashes to you inserents... like my friends car he got it and its a "clean title". i poped the hood and you can see the the front end was smashed to hell.

its stupid really, i cant sell my car for more the 1k all cuz it is a "salvage title"...you cant even tell anything ever happened to it, the only sign on damage in my inner bumer is bent in a little. and that car was fcuked up.
