I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
Yeah, it's about ------- time. I finally found myself a shitbox to boost the hell out of. I still had to drive out of town, but it wasn't far. It was listed in the white sheet for $1250 and I went up there to offer him $1000, but by the time I got there he had "1000" written on the windshield. ;D This guy has the worst social skills I have ever experienced and it doesn't help that he doesn't speak english. ::) I don't know how this guy sells cars, but whatever.

Here she is....

Hell yeah, it's an Sir!!! What a fantastic job the factory did placing this decal. ::)

Yeah, it's an ugly mother fucker, but I don't care. I might just throw some MATCHING rims on it and leave it how it is. The motor is my main concern. I'll have this bitch boosted in no time. 8)

I would have rather had this one, but it sold. :(

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
I have a few questions also.

When you buy a car from a dealer with cash, do you have to pay tax on top of the asking price or is it just the asking price? I have never paid cash for a car at a dealership so I don't know how that works. This guy is sketchy as hell and I don't trust him. I don't think he is a legal citizen of the United States.

Don't they have to have tires with at least 50% tread on them? These fuckers are bald as hell and I'm not sure if highway driving is safe with them. :-\

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
they can sell the car 'as is' with bald ass tires. If you pay in cash you still have to pay the tax and ----. If he's shady he could list that he only sold the car for $100 and keep the extra

It has a D15A3 :o Watch out guys, this one is a screamer. The cool thing is it has MPFI so I won't have to ---- with that ----.

Who do I pay the tax to, the DMV or him? For example, the car is sold for $1000+tax to him so I have to give him $1000+tax or do I just give him $1000 and that's it? I would pay the tax at the DMV? ???

swap in a d16a1

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
you want to pay as little as possible. When you sign the title over the notary will add tax and all unless he's a notary.

45psi 02-26-2004 05:57 PM

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
pay him. but try to get the title and registration with him, just be like turboHF and lowball him

Dr.Boost 02-26-2004 05:58 PM

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
I don't think this clown is legally able to be a notary. What I mean is, his asking price is $1000. Do I just give him $1000 and no tax or any other bullshit and drive it away?


swap in a d16a1
I think I'll throw one of my Z6's in it and see what happens. ;) I might boost this thing until it blows. I wonder how much boost it can handle? 8)

did you negotiate a price with him yet? You tell him you want that car for $1000 with everything or your walking. They always come down off the price.

Dr.Boost 02-26-2004 06:05 PM

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
Ok, that's what I thought. That was my plan. I have to go there tomorrow and pick it up. He is busy smuggling immigrants across the border.

I just don't want tp pay any extra bullshit tax and ----. I just want it to be $1000 even and take it away. He can ---- himslef if he wants more than $1000 for that bitch.

Jk, now get that thing boosted.... i know you have parts laying around so get to work!

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
Hey Dr. Boost
Be careful when you buy the car. Make sure you get reciepts for the tax. When I bought my car in Florida they tried to charge me twice :o!! I even had the reciepts. Those people at the DMV.. Argh..

Good luck with the car. You might want to take off the SIR badge... you know, so people wont know what you got under the hood ;)

Yeah, see that's what I'm worried about. This guy is too damn sketchy for me. It's hard enough to understand him, let alone negotiate with him. I might have to sharpen up my sign language skills for this one. ::) I'll take some pics of the "dealership" he runs. My battery died in my cameera so I didn't get a shot of it. It's very professional. :-X

Are you sure it has a MPFI D15a3? If so, then someone swapped in all the Si ---- from a real Si in what appears to be a DX. Because that car is not a real Si. Pop the hood and make sure it is not carbed.

Sorry to ruin anything :-X but there are just a few things that I can try to make out why it is NOT an Si:
Si's had a spoiler, the hatch is not an Si, the rear bumper cover is not an Si, Si's had an electric sunroof, rims are not from an Si those are Dx's.

Knock his price down. That's quite steep for a non-Si.
Good luck.

----, I think you're right. :-[ I just assumed. I guess the ------- homo that owned it before put SI tags on it along with the SiR. ::) This is my first CRX so I don't know ----. :'(

Oh well, one more ------- thing I need to do to it before I boost it. I didn't get a good chance to check things out on it. Around here $1000 is a very reasonable price for any car. This is the first one I have found....period. :-\

That's funny because when I told my buddy I need a ride to go pick it up the first thing he said was "Don't put a ------- blockguard in this one.". :-[

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
Yeaaaaaaah Doc welcome to the even lighter faster generation of rexes:D..

BTW that looks like a DX u sure its MPFI?
Nevermind I noticed the Si badge, thats weird usually Si's are one color...

The A6 you will need custom mounts.. Easiest is a BRonwtop ZC or 86-89 d16a1 and boost the ---- out of it, thats what I will be doing...

SOB I read what douche said and of course had to click on Doc's sig... now I know i'm an idiot ;)

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
i get my 89 next week, no motor or tranny, 450, I'll offer 300 cause I gotta cover towing. Got the b16 and low comp intrnals at the shop. :-D

91civicZ6 02-26-2004 09:14 PM

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
get a notarized bill of sale. you pay him $1000.

when you get it licensed, you pay the tax. see if you cant talk him into listing the sale price of the car as $100 so you dont have to pay as much tax.

dude, don't buy it for 1k imo :-\ i had a chance to buy one for 300 with a blown engine, so you figure i could pick up a nice d for around 3-400 and that would be 6-700 bucks, and it was tooo much for those ---- box crx's to me. just wait and save up another thousand and get a nice ass 88+ rex. look here for some nice rex's, most of them are in or near cali anyways http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/r...used&x=30&y=12

Dr.Boost 02-27-2004 06:56 AM

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
See, the thing is around here that is a good price. I know all of you guys could find one for so much cheaper and that's all good and fine, but you can't do that here. I have no way of towing a vehicle 300+ miles so buying one in California is out of the question. I look at that autotrader everyday trying to find one close to me, but it's not happening. :-\

Anyways, I don'tr think I'm going to buy it. I'm not down for the CARB-DPFI swap. :-X

oh, i thought you lived in cali, yeah, carb to dpfi or even mpfi is why i didn't get the one i was looking at for 300, not to mention the old body style is just plain ass :P

Dr.Boost 02-27-2004 12:18 PM

Re:I got off work early today.....so I bought a new car.
 
I wouldn't mind the DPFI-MPFI swap, but ---- a carb. That requires more than I want to contribute to a shitbox. If I still had access to my old harness in my Civic I would swap that ---- over, but yeah, it's still a shitbox. :-\ I think I have a plan now.......... ;)
