The trim level determines whether it is VTEC or not. Dont buy it, it has probebly been beaten on and its riced out. $7000 is too much. Buy mine!! Its a 92 EX sedan with lots of fun handling mods. Asking $4000.

Never buy a premodified car. They are beaten to ****. Try going to a police/bank auction, avoid a used car (trade in) they are usually beaten to **** by the car dealer employees and the previous owner prior to trading in. Repoed auction vehicles were taken on the spot, they are usually a little more maintained and less abused than the premodified piles of **** floating around.

$7000 is too much for a 97 with 77k on it but $4000 is a good price for a 92?

it either has an F22b1 or f22b2.

F22b1 = VTEC 145hp. EX trim only.

F22b2 = NonVTEC 130hp. LX, DX, and SE trim.

Just buy mine for $6k It's a 95' with only 67k miles on it. EX, 5-speed, lowered. I only raced it probably 10 times at the most since I got it just to see what it had.
