She just called me @ work. Said a guy at her work is selling a 5g civic hatch. year 95. anything I should look for when buyin this sucker? he's asking $4500CDN OBO.

or

$1000 cash + take over the payments totallying 1000+2800 in payments. Obviously im not giving him 4500 for it! lol

but what should I be on the lookout for.

I wouldnt go as far as the bondo factor, if its just gonna be a put around, get from here to there car. I would look at things like the oil, and brake fluid, and exhaust, and the clutch. ensure everything works on the inside of the car, just stuff like that.

for 4500, it better be a perfect SI.

Rust is the biggest concern for that car
