Default Do I buy this cx ? ? ?

So I am from NY where finding a stock civic hatch thats not rusted or destroyed is impossible. My last hatch was a cx but it had A/C.

Pros
Hatch,
silver,needs a good cleaning
all original honda panels with vin tags
honda factory alarm?
its a 98
120k
stick
drives smooth doesnt over heat
black interior
no oil leaking
no rust

Cons
clutch will need to be done soon(i assume)
asking price is a little more then I am use to paying( still within the book value)
hail damage on roof not bad
random scratches not bad id put the body at a 7/10
both bumpers have scratches(larger then normal)
NO AC, no power steering. ps doesnt bother me.
og honda hoses

Really? The most important bit of information is glaringly missing. The PRICE !!!
And can you take better pictures? And MORE of them? Can't see ANY of the damage and flaws you listed. From that fish-eyed pic above I wouldn't touch. Cheap *** Rotas. Ebay headlights. The rest of the car was probably treated with the same amount of "respect".
YOu say the car is silver but the pic is of a red car? What's it lowered on? I'm guessing Ebay stuff too.

^ I wouldn't write off buying a car just because it has Rotas. I take good care of my cars, but have Rotas on there now. Some people don't feel the need for high priced wheels, especially on a daily driver.

OP grow up and learn to make decisions for your self. Just ask mommy and/or daddy since you need consultation before spending money.

I'm not necessarily against Rotas per se BUT when it's coupled with other knock-off items on the car then it's a cumulative judgement. There are actually some styles of Rotas that are pretty cool.

Why would you post a pic of your OLD car instead of the car in question? That makes no sense. And ask someone ELSE what you should buy and then not even list the price. Also makes no sense.

I somewhat agree. Using cheap parts could be indicative of how the car was taken care of. The hatch I just picked up has eBay euro tails, headlights, and some DIP wheels (never heard of them). They don't look too bad, but needless to say will be getting changed. Finding a 88-00 Honda these days some cheap *** hasn't had their hands in today is getting tough.

So you had a car that was very similar and want to through out that you have a few "nice" cars that you have purchased, yet you can't make a simple decision like this for your self? Here I'll make the decision for you, no.
