Default BUY it or nOt......

This guy in selling a 91 Civic Si for $500. So for what i know is the the civic needs a altenator and battery. The title is clear and only has a few rust and damage as you can see from the pictures. Its has 160K and is still driveable. I will be taking a trip to check it over in person this week.

Jsut wondering do you EF guys think its worth the purchase of this civic. Before he bought the car from the orginal owner, it was owned by a college girl.
Thanks for any suggestions and comments.

500 seems like a good deal.

I'd pick it up. Thats not a bad price. It may be beat but if it runs and doesnt have substantial rust damage its worth $500.

Before buying it ,i'd make sure that the part that is rusted can be removed and replaced. If it can't, then I wouldn't buy it! Rust is like cancer, if you don't remove it completely then it will infect the rest of the host. That can be a serious problem in the long run.

Looks good for $500..problems i noticed..hood is pretty rusted..fender will need replaced..hood lines up too high from the rear and sits crooked in front..notice how the hood has a gap on pass front side and narrows down toward the drivers side..that might lead to replacing core/rad support..or may have a bit of frame damage..but if worse came to worse you could use all the si parts and put on a dx or std..the interior,engine,trans, and sway bars are worth 500 anyway...the tow hitch bothers me..cause our lil cars were never meant to tow anything...towin puts much stress on the rear suspension,engine,trans,clutch and frame/unibody...i would never tow anything with a unibody. but hey man Id pay $500 for a nice parts car even so this is a good deal man

I think thats a good price as someone above already said you could get more than that for it by parting it out....Tell him to throw in the college girl and he has himself a deal

Be careful, I got my Integra with 150k on it for $500....it lasted me a little over a month before the engine gave out, the previous owners had not been nice to it....
