Buying a civic, help.

[TsiTom]

Thats not a bad price (taking into account that I havent seen the car)...but it wouldnt hurt to talk it down a couple hundred $$ WOW...I stopped breathing for a second there...until I saw the EDIT...

you had me worried for a while... wow.

No, the TA is staying put. Does the engine in that car have potential at all? If not, could I swap in an engine that does?

Seems a little high for a 1990. I don't think that engine has a whole lot of potential, but I could be wrong.

if your gonna get a 1988-1991 civic the only one that really has potential is the SI if your keeping the stock motor. for a DX that price is kinda high

[94NDTA]

I'll keep looking. How much would an 88-91 SI cost, stock...on average.

[Bryce]

I would not pay more then $1000 ever even for a 3g Civic, even if it was a Si. (Stock of course)

That's a rip, talk him down alot!

[94NDTA]

How much should I offer to him?

[seanjohn]

The value of a 1988-1991 civic/crx if directly proportional to the amount of rust on the car. If there is no rust, clean title, and atleast a 'relatively' clean car I would pay up to the 2k asking price.

JUST STAY AWAY FROM RUST!

its hard to find a older civic where the rear 1/4s arent rusted.
