I have recently been searchin around local car ad's for a civic hatch preferably a midori green, cuz i am in love with that color. I came across this one, the guy listed it for 2750 but I think I am guna negotiate the price with him when I take a look at it tomorrow. I am kinda a poor college student right now. my plan is to make it a daily, prolly put HX's on it and possibly doin an ls swap. I was just seein what yall thought about it and if you think he is askin too much. I know its a rare color, but its also a CX. Lemme know what you think. THanks.

 

Shoot where is this located? Ill buy it if you dont want it hah.

 

how many miles? $2700 sounds pretty decent, but of course again that depends on things like mileage. Also what's the interior like, i see a bit of sunfading on the hood and such, but who wouldn't love a fresh coat of midori anyway?

 

oooo midori hatch.. sounds yummy

 

Hahahaha thats why i didnt post the ad! I dont want ppl to scoop it up before I have a chance to look at it!

180,000 before the odometer went bad, speedo was replaced.. kinda scary but I mean.. Ive been workin on hondas for a long time and can replace anything.. Interiors kinda beat.. 5 out of 10 id say.. It looks like a dog nawd on the shift **** and seats lol. I wanted to respray it myself kinda, I worked at a body/paint shop over summer and learned ALOT and also got to paint towards the end before I had to come back to school. AND MIDORI IS THE ****!

 

get it man. Most stock looking hatch I seen and its MIDORI!

 

Of course you should pick it up. You don't need the affirmation of all the rubber neckers on here to tell you it's a good idea - you already know what you want, be a grown up and go and get it.

However, I'll submit to you: WTF is the point of looking for a midori green hatch if you're just going to repaint it midori green anyway? Why not look for a hatch of any colour, with an interior that isn't a devastating 5/10, with a speedo that can guarantee the amount of mileage, and maybe ... has a lower price? If you're a student, then that is your biggest concern.... low dineros.

Either that or wait for another m. green one to come along.

 

I drive a ford explorer right now cuz all my other cars have gotten stolen. I cant afford the rediculous gas prices anymore.

 

get it man. if you can paint it yourself it sounds like a good deal.

 

If that's the case, then I'd say it's not a good price... Unless you can talk him down about $1000. But, at the same time, I understand that prices vary widely by region. Here in S. Ontario, I wouldn't want to pay much more than $1500USD for a stock '96 Civic Hatch. Unless Midori Green fetches a premium, I guess. But then, that would be another argument for "purchase-any-colour-then-respray-green-yourself" if you're going to DIY it. Here's an idea of what's f.s. in this region. Note prices are in CAD.

I guess I won't overstate the obvious, but I'd say re-investing your initial anticipated fuel-savings into some serious anti-theft and/or recovery devices would be a wise decision to keep your midori green gem around for longer than an hour.

 

I have talked to him about lowering the price. I am going to try to get it down to 2000, but if not the most i think ill pay is around 2300. I do plan on having a crazy anti-theft system with cut off's and alarms.

 

I bought it today. 2400 and we worked a deal where he is going to take it to get inspected,if anything is wrong during inspection he will have it fixed at no extra cost to me.

 

nice buy man

 

good deal

 

looks good man try to knock him down to 2500$ but definitely a good pickup

 

what? he paid 2400

 

nice buy! loookin forward to future plans done to this hatch

 

thanks everyone.. Im real excited for it.. Ill be sure to post up some pics after I clean it up alittle.. I have a friend that has some HX wheels. I really wanna put some white HX's on it, and slam it lol.

 

it looks busted

 

nice i cant wait to see some more pics

 

if this was california i could lowball that guy to 1900$ because we need that A/C haha. but im sure you can get him for like 2200 or maybe less. i got my EG cx for 17,000 an the guy originally wanted 2600$. i told him i had a kid on the way and needed a cheap car lol. feel free to use that.

 

Body looks good, though the peeling clearcoat on the hood sucks and the front bumper looks like it's missing a bolt or such.

Almost any stock '96 Civic is going to need a little TLC.

Value depends greatly on the location.

I know here anything older than 10 years old is supposed to be exempt from mileage anyway.

Good luck and have fun with it. I wouldn't dump a lot of cash into repainting what doesn't need new paint though.

 

i like it. id buy it.

 

nice find! just put some ls, gsr, type r or si seats in there and call it a day.

 

i wish we had deals like that in hawaii.. stuff like that go for atleast $4500 here and don't last long either.. nice platform to start building!
