There's a 1989 Civic Si hatchback in my area for sale for $1800. The car is freshly painted red but the car has 193000 miles on it. I want some opinions on whether or not this is a good deal. I will test drive it tomorrow. The engine sounds fine today but I will not know for sure unless I test drive it. Thanks for your opinions.

 

What are your plans for the car? It seems like a pretty decent deal, see if you talk him down some maybe 1500 or so.

 

Do you guys think this car will last me for another 2 1/2 years? I will be driving it mostly on highways on my way to college everyday. I would like to put a B18C1 in if i have the money and the usual I/H/E stuff. I definitely would not "rice" it and make it a real sleeper.

 

Almost 200k, and fresh paint means he had alot of rust fixed. Go through the car with a rubber/plastic magnet. If you find too much bondo, then Id say it was a cheap fix. $1500 is a great price for an Si. Most shitty dx's around here with smoking engines cost that much.

 

Take a magnet to it to find out how much bondo it has.

 

mine has rust (some not so bad, i know how to fix it) paid umm id say 1200. anyone know where i can find a metal sunroof in bay area in good shape?

 

yeah honda's last forever almost

 

i got my 89 hatch for $1400 it came wit some 16" rims and a cd player...ask for a cheaper price

 

hey I bought mine and it has 191,000 miles and the thing runs like a champ. In the waits of a b16 but I can beat some ex coupes though. look at the thread the body is just how i bought it.
