Carfax

Thanks for the reply I really appreciate it, I was suppose to buy it two days ago so in the two days I keep going back and forth about being able to afford it. I need to just buy it.

Yea the body is so nice though. The mileage is what I am worried about I am waiting for my mechanic to call me back to see if he can go. If he cant I am not buying today.

Well I am stuck at a price with the guy I need him to drop $250 more and the car will be mine.

The bad: The car needs a new intake gasket, The idle problem needs to be fixed, the car shut off on us while it was idling There is a little more rust then I thought it had, The paint job isnt perfect by any means but about a ten footer. The headlights need to be replaced, the glove box wont open, needs new brakes, needs new front tires, the front tires seem to be wearing unevenly so may not be aligned right? The drivers side door seems like it was replaced because it isnt painted by the hinges could have been rust or maybe an accident? Seems that the doors sag some. Needs some weatherstripping atleast around the sunroof. there is some funky little dings on the hood The door handle was put on wrong, there is a little dent in the pony wheel but now I am just getting picky

The Good: The clutch seems to be in great shape, The tranny seems good, Engine looks ok other than the few problems, The ashtray door works even know I dont smoke but hey one thing that doesnt need to be fixed. The back tires are about brand new, The underbody seems pretty good, The flowmasters are a plus, so is the edelbrock intake manifold, The air intake is also a plus, 3.73's are cool, Im not sure if the injectors are a good upgrade or bad upgrade? Im not sure if the throttlebody was a good or bad upgrade? Has brand new fog lights. has brand new weatherstripping on the inside of the doors where the door meets the car.

overall the car is about a ten footer. From about ten feet away it looks very nice. Just like the pictures. I noticed alot more things wrong with it but some good things, the second time around. The paint job is decent but I would get the rust fixed and the car repainted as soon as I could afford it. The good thing is if I get this car my girlfriends dad is going to teach me how to fix the problems. We are going to work on this car together. He is the mechanic I brought with me, he is certified. I really do like this car and it sound awesome The upgrades are somethings I planned on doing anyway. If the guy drops the price down to what i am looking to pay then I am going to take the car to another shop to put it up on a lift and take a even better look at it. My mechanics shop is too far away but he knows a guy about two miles away. Also I will probably register for the carfax for a year so maybe I can help people in my situation

Also how much power should this car be making with these upgrades?

My family does have a civic It is dirt slow even with an intake. Thats how we bought it. It sounds like a ricer so whenever I drive it all the ricers turn and look at me.

The car actually does have headers. I forgot to post that sorry. My computer kept on shutting off on me while typing that post so I probably forgot a few things.

Alright do you guys and ladies think it is worth $5750 If I do take it for this price I will be running a carfax on it and taking it to a shop with a lift.

He now says he will sell it to me next week for $5750 if he still has it. I wanted to go tomorrow but he thinks he can get more for it. Im about to go down there and tell him what I think about him

don't rush it,, if you can wait its better i doubt the car would sell right away at that price. do you research se how much it would cost you to fix etc... might not be even worth it

have you looked at these?? you should always have more than one choice
