I have a 98 honda civic 5 speed. New rad and upgraded clutch. Rebuilt motor 1.8L vtec. Lowered on fully adjustable coilovers, bronze 15" rims. 2.5" exhaust. Front and rear Sir lips, Ctr headlights with hids, SIR cluster. Also comes with rear disc brakes not installed yet. Oil change ever 3000kms.
203 XXXkm on body

75000 on new motor




HES ASKING 5500

Car looks really clean and good price with all the extra mods. I'd be cautious of the rebuilt motor as clearly with all the performance mods that were done the car was probably driven pretty hard. GL with the buy and hope everything works out.

thanx

I would say more like $4500 for that car. But yes be cautious about it, because i gerenty the car has been beaten on.

Ireland460

liek badly beaten on?
good lol hope not how will i tell, what should i look for in that case?

Is he willing to sell it with legitimate certification and e-test? Looking at the engine compartment, I'd be wondering about that.

I'd run away from it for reasons given in your other post about this car.

Buying a modified car, especially one with a lot of miles on it, often buys you nothing but trouble.

Ireland460

no hes not. so i should walk away eh?
alright, sounds like a smart idea man.
appreciate the information

If he is going to get you a fake e-test or safety, i would not get it, because then there is more then likely something wrong with the car. I know I would not buy a car if the guy is going to be doing that ****.

Ireland460

hes selling it as is

Ireland460

but 5500 is quite a bit for as is i guess eh

spike

I'd say more around $4000-$4500 for it.

Ireland460

five 0, i looked on autotrader and found the exact care just not the mods for 4500 127000 original engine..
hopefully the guy isnt too far,

Ireland460

yea. but with the comments about the redone engine. kinda threw the situation off. there right. i could just be buying trouble.

I would say the seller has slightly inflated his price because of the aftermarket parts on the car. A 98 Civic Hatch with that many k's should be more then $3000. My mint, lower k's, loaded 98 Si was sold for $5500 and it was cert/etest.

Aside form the extra parts, does it have any rust or bondo? What options does it have? Who and where was the swap done? Does the new motor have any warranty? What does it need for safety and etest?

I would search high and low for one like Blitzsix just bought.

Here is 2 Si's for example. Lower k's and more options.

I think the price is a bit too high for a '98 model car with over 200K.

Gallagher

don't buy it

Ireland460

alright i think im still going to go look at it and bring you guys abck soem info for fun. im not going to buy it. but its the exact car im looking for a 96-98 red civic hatchback.
hopefully another pops up.

Ireland460

well the guy that is selling the car, isnt getting back to me so im deciding on just leaving the car alone. it does look liek its bin through a hard life.

^^^^good idea you'd be better off finding a stock clean one and modding from there imo

I'd say stay away from it... buy my car instead.
