HELP!! Worth $3500?

[akarobbb]

Really want this civic. I just want to make sure it is worth $3500. I'm new to the Honda game but I saw this car in person and loved it.

- EX trim
- B16A Swap
- LS tranny
- chipped 9000 rpm redline
- Full Lip Kit

I would take it to a mechanic you can trust and get it inspected. In my opinion $3500 is a little much, but if it is clean and there isn't much wrong with it, that's not too bad of a deal, especially if thats what you want. You're gonna have to paint it...

If it works well and everythings solid it'd be a good pick up.

i like the matte black, can i just get the door jams painted to match?

Well I don't see any point to doing that, cause you're not gonna see them when the doors are shut. It'd be a pain in the ass to "paint"

yeah true. i feel like its not so bad since the car was red and it basically goes with the color scheme lol

 

[akarobbb]

oh darn i forgot to mention that it has some type of alarm and an immobilizer

 

[R3dline]

id pass, its been molested and from the looks of it, drove hard. imo 3500 can be better spend somewhere else.

 

[JustJustin]

Yeah I don't think the red door jams are a big deal. Do you know how many miles the engine has?

From personal experience I would stay away from buying modified cars. I've boughten 2 and spent most of my money fixing things that the previous owner broke/didn't do correctly. $3500 looks a bit high for that Civic, maybe offer $2500? If they say no then it wasn't meant to be...

 

[IllNist]

Even if the car has issues you learn a lot fixing them. $3500 is cheaper than buying a cleaner shell and motor swap alone. Just saying.... However I would say 2k max.

its florida, clean hondas are a dime a dozen

 

[James315]

wouldnt pay anything over 2500 no telling how hard it was driven or how well the maintence was kept up on and come on red door jambs lmao just saying.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY IT IS HARD FOR ME TO WALK AWAY!!! Idk how many of you guys are in florida but i looked at at least 6 civics yesterday. 4 ej2's and 2 ej1's. They were all crappy to the point where I would have to redo the interior, NEED a new paint job, replace headlight because they weren't even the same on both sides, and EVERY SINGLE ONE have a broken taillights like wtf. And these guys were charging upwards of $3000 for those POS's. The best engine out of all of them was a D16z6. One the other hand this one is clean with a good swap, interior is mint, all the windows, sunroof work, he even left all the a/c parts so all i would need is a belt. Idk if their are cleaner civics in your states but the ones here suck ass.

 

[R3dline]

do what you wanna do man. im just speaking from experience. id pass on it

I'd say go for it then bro! Take it to a mechanic like meineke, and they'll do a pre-purchase inspection on it. Or at least mention taking it to a mechanic and see how he reacts. and if everything checks out, I'd get it
