The title says it all !
I'm thinking of purchasing a 00 civic in canada and was wondering if its worth it to spend the grand diffrence
and get the SIR rather than the SI

+1
yu will be much happier with a b16 then a d16y8

So get the SIR,
It's worth the extra 1000 dollars ?

 

[R3dline]

if with the mods its worth $4600CDN ???

I really want my first car to be a civic

Looks like a fair price make sure yu test drive it and yu could probably talk him down a bit. But don't be a lowballer lol

 

[Brandon18]

thanks man,

with your guys knowledge are there any tips or tricks i should know about for my first car ??

 

[R3dline]

the car looks like its already done, id just buy it and drive it .

 

[Brandon18]

Just called the guy who's selling the car,
says theres minor scratches and he replaced the headers and the check engine light comes on now
he will take $4,300 for it
although he says if you shift over 4,000rpm he says he notices it burns alittle oil.
he says hes drives it 3000rpm-4000rpm shifts

what should i do ???

Take it to a trustworthy mechanic to get it checked out. If it's burning that much oil, something isn't right.

Find out what the CEL is too. If it's like a bad o2 sensor, that's an easy fix. But something more serious, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
