THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE THREAD. JUST LOOKING FOR ADVISE/OPINION.

Thanks.

I found a 2000 Honda Civic Si EBP with 43xxx miles. All original/stock from interior, exterior, engine, suspension and down to the tail pipe. Owner want $6500 firm.

However, owner had the car repaint 6 years ago. Owner claimed it was keyed. Carfax check out good with no accident.

This car been sitting in his garage collecting dust for 3 years.

KBB value.
Excellent: $8090
Good: $7540
Fair: $6865

Car been in California it's whole life. His is currently the 2nd owner. Dude is probably 38+.

Test drove it yesterday. It drove straight and pull very strong. Will be going back today to do a compression test.

I don't really need another car. But I think it might worth it to save it before some ricer/kid F-it up.


Yes, I do have the money.
Yes, I do have parking/storage available.
Do I really really need another car. NO

 

if comp test goes well, dont leave his house without that car....

EM1 with 43k is worth ALOT more than $6500....

pick that up now....

can you tell it was repainted? was it a quality paint job??

 

I say yes em1's are getting harder and harder to find in stock form..And holding a clean title is a plus about 3 years ago i paid $5500 for a stock em1 with 93k on it but it held a salvage title so go for it in my opinion i would love to own another 99-00 SI.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^


that should be all you need right there.....

He bought his:
- Salvage Title ( in accident/damaged to point of totaled )
- 93,000 Miles
- $5500

your is :
- CLEAN TITLE ( NO ACCIDENTS, REPAIRS, ETC)
- 43,XXX MILES!!! THATS NOTHING
- $6500!!!!


as he said EM1's are getting harder and harder to find in stock form....plus car companies and KBB under rate their value.....pick it up, and take care of her....

 

im the second owner of my EM1, the car had a little over 100k when i picked it up, was in one previous accident nothing major, other than that "spotless title" and i still paid around $5k in '04 and it was a little less than "Fair" condition.
Go for it, if youre thinking about it this much obviously you already love the car

 

I'm really considering saving this EM1. And it will be a nice additional to my collection of 95 Civic VX(autox), 93 Civic CX(stock), 01 Impreza 2.5RS and 85 Corolla AE86.

 

The em1 would be a nice piece to add. Keep it safe,clean and stock so it retains it's value.

 

I would definitely go for it.

If you can't keep it, or decide not to you can always clean it up a bit and sell it for more.

 

It sounds like an amazing deal man. If the paint job is good quality and the body is nice condition + the engine is in good shape then I can't see the problem.

Oh yeah, post some pictures of it!

 

Here it is.

Collected dust for 3 years.


The mileage. Hasn't moved since 2007


Interior


Stock torque less B16A2


Washed it.

 

oh wow, so you bought it, very nice!! Good pick up i would say

 

that is super clean!! me = so jealous

 

Wow..... thats a steal. I would keep it an wouldnt drive it lol

 

I WOULD RIGHT NOW!!!

 

Collector Car Status lol

 

In a few hours I'm gonna run it down the drag strip and Autox it next weekend.

 

lol, you won't be very happy at the strip I am upgrading to B18C in my EM1

Autocross is fun, and the car should handle pretty good stock. There are many upgrades that can be done to improve it though

 

I don't expect 15's flat. Factory spec are around what... 15.7? And I'm not the best drag racer out there. AutoXing should be interesting. Guess I'll find out how a stock EM1 compare to full pre DSP civic hatchback.

Will update with later tonight. Hopefully I won't run 16's

 

can i....can i have it?

 

very nice find, i bought my em1 a few years ago with around 55k on it. Its up to 84k miles now, but i hardly drive it anymore. trying to keep it under 100k for as long as possiable!

 

Just got back. Almost throw the car away after 1st run 16.155 @89.622 LAME!!!

Best time.
