Around these parts, that is an AWESOME deal. If I saw that for sale on the side of the road, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

yeh 1500 is real good for a si, you can get a obd0 b16 for cheap to put in there, and some fresh bushings maybe. hows the interior?

looks good, the moldings need to be took off and it would look even better......ive decided to keep my hatch, prime it, paint it, and drive it because of the 3 dollar gas prices.......now i think my nova hates me lol....

It's a steal and you will get a very nice car.............A few trips to the junkyard will score you the plastic pieces you might need. But the outside looks awesome.....

Go for it before someone else jumps on it, then take more pics of the inside.

i disagree!! it needs more textured peices! the std black center peice for the tailights looks better also IMO

Seems like a good deal if it is running, I'd just look for any hidden rust, they may have painted it because it was a rust bucket and didn't fix it properly, that would be my only concern but if it is as good as it looks in those pics I'd buy it

A thousand dolla would be the most i would pay for that car.

When you pull the engine paint the engine bay flat black so it doesn't look goofy. Besides that not bad. Those rims are mad fugly though. Get some 88-89 crx si buzzsaw rims and flatblack 'em.

89shithatch 04-24-2006 03:50 PM

Re: to buy or not to buy
 
i drove 2hrs to get it, there is absoulutly no rust on the car at all. A couple very small bubbles by the wheelwells. The undercarrige looks like its had 40k on it. I didi a carfax and there was never any damage reported. And finding an umolested civic or crx around here is like finding a hot chick thats not a bitch. so to pay 1500 for an unmolested non rusted 1990 civic si aint bad imo
