pretty sure im gonna pick this up might be meeting up with him today or the next day but first wanted to hear thoughts and opinion from you h-t'ers. i wanted to make sure what he was saying was true and not quick easy ghetto shortcuts like when he said, "a rare blue has special fetures like when you put the e brake down the headlight turn on."

good deal?

I wouldnt buy it.. why does the headlights come on when you put down the e brake cable? thats wierd.. anyways most I would go for that would be $1200

 

They may just be running lights, Cdn car?

 

Miles? I mean, it is a CX, so I'd agree with the MAYBE $1,200 mark. I picked up my EJ1 a few months back for just over $2,000 with 17" rims, AEM short ram intake, exhaust, body kit. Yeah she was a little rough around the edges, but an EX is always nice.

 

car looks beat. the most i'd offer is 1500

 

is cx the lowest class? no sunroof, power windows, power mirrors, etc??

 

Cx is trash. like 80 hp d15b8


1,500 TOPS

 

yes cx is the lowest for the eg's. it goes cx, dx, lx, ex, si. With the newer civic they have the vp value package or whatever so im sure that is the new cx haha.

 

what about the vx?

 

i told him what you guys told me about the trashy cx model i offered $1500 and this is his reply to me "**** that the cx is the canadian model and it goes up to 140 your smoked it also it the lightest chassis and si had the sunroof dx and cx are the same deal with these cars 24/7"

TRUE?!?!

 

i wouldent offer anything over $1400...i bought a prestine condition 95 LX from original owner for $2k...too much buddy...try to negotiate the price..

 

tell him its a CX!! one of the cheapest models! if it was a civic si then it may be worth it but its not... tell him let me take if off your hands now for $1500 or just send him a link to this thread and let him read it so he knows what his car is really worth

 

the lights with the e-brake is a function of running lights. Normal for CDM models.

Canadian CX came with the D15B7 (not the B8 as it did in the US)
102 hp, 98 ft/lb

If it is a CDM model, that price isn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be.
If it's a USDM model with a couple CDM features added then it's not really that good of a deal.
the VIN will tell you.

 

is it a clean title?? rust?! not for 2200..maybe 1900 at the most.;.

 

no no and no!

 

after that response i'd tell him to go get ****ed, an attitude like that would be enough for me.

 

x2

then send him a link to this thread so he can see what his car is really worth

 

$2200.00 for an EG with rust? no thanks. You're in Seattle, WA. I'm sure if you kept your eyes open you can get a way better deal then that.

BTW I just read he said the headlights come on with handbrake down. That's a sign it might be a Canadian car. Our DRL lights come on when the car is started and the ebrake is down.

Just don't buy it, his attitude and his shitty asking price.

 

My cx owner pride is hurt
lol

EDIT: At least it gets like 50mpg

 

well its not trash trash... I mean its the lowest class but its also the lightest so there is an advantage there too.. and it should be the cheapest to buy so another plus.. Im kinda insulted myself.. I have a 97 civic hatchback cx

 

IMO the cx is the best for someone who likes to customize. With no extra sound dampening, p*ssy-steering or g*y-bs you really feel like youre connected to the road. Its definitely a drivers car.

if u want it for your project car looking for cheaper car so save some money

 

i told him what you guys said and this is his response " the engine code is D15y7 with a ys1 tranny non vtec only comes in the ex or si model with 157k" the lowest he said he will do is 1600 and he'll come to me. deal?

 

DAYUM, I TRIED TO FIND U A DIFFERENT CAR IN THE SAME AREA, BUT THERES NO GOOD DEALS, THEY'RE ALL EXPENSIVE AND SHITTY.... COMPARED TO OTHER CARS IN UR AREA, I GUESS 1600 IS A GOOD DEAL FOR THE CAR U WANT.....
