Is this car worth getting?
 

For $5000....... 97 Civic DX Hatchback in RED
-driven by an old man who wants a bigger car
-no mods
-140,000 miles
-interior is in great shape..... non-smoker owner.
-No major dents except dings here and there
-I looked everywhere for any signs of past wreckage, no bent frames nor signs of frames that were hammered. I could really careless about the mileage on the engine since I plan on doing a B20 swap and turbo anyway within a few months. It does have an "SRS" light which I have no clue what causes it to stay lit. Any ideas?

Thank you for your time ;D

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

SRS is the airbag. Why it might be on, I don't know. With the money that your gonna tie up in the b20 swap, I would find a 92-95 to reduce the car cost and save for the swap. IMO

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

SRS=airbags or something related to the airbags need to be looked at.
Thats a pretty good price.Most EG hatches Ive seen in auto trader are going for about 3-4k so to find an EK for that is pretty good.Milage is high but if your going to ditch the engineI guess it doesnt matter.

Yeah man... I looked around. That is actually the cheapest I found except a 91 CRX for the same price already modded with basic bolt ons. What I like about this car the best is that there is no mod. Only 2 previous owner that came from the same family. Everything else that I have been seeing around here has an auto tranny. I found another car (92-95 civic HB) for $6000 with 130K miles and semi-modded.

I'd be cautious when buying a car that has been modded or upgraded, probaly means that someone else has driven the hell out of it...

I got my hatch for sale for 3,000$ , its a 92 Hatchback Si, blue with good motor,tranny and body. Good A/C with only 108k miles. Its a great car but I need a family car now and my Del Sol is my play car.

What's your location?

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

Found another HB. White '95CivicDX 5-speed no mods with 130K for $4000. I'll go check it out....

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

Dr. boost, the reason you can't find anything like that is cause you live in az, I cant find anything good either... AZ sucks....

ha ha ha ha...that is too far man...

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

damn you guys pay alot. I can get a 95 civic for like 2000 just about anywhere. I would get one for fun to mess with but I could use that 2 grand to buy a bigger turbo and a standalone. If anybody is seriously looking for a car just let me know and I will look around for you. Just let me know what car you want and I'll check it out.

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

Dam dude where do you live to get those prices? If you are serious let me know, we can make a killing buying where you are and selling where I am.

Texas. Paper is full of 6th gen civics with under 75k miles for $2,500.

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

Dude, I'm in Norfolk Va. Find me a cheap Hatchback and I'll drive over there to pick it up. I'll buy you lunch/dinner/breakfast..... I'm serious man. A 92-95 for less than $3000 or 96-00 for less than $4000. I'm dead serious......

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

cool, give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can find.

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

no problem. dont sweat it though, since I do have a couple of option here as well. I just want more choices. Thanks man...

Re:Is this car worth getting?
 

Damn! I live in Hawaii and unless the car is totaled, I think the cheapest you can find a 92-95 for is about $4000. That would be for a 92 bone stock CX with rust, dents, scratches, bald tires, etc. It sucks over here. :'(
