What do y'all think of this?

Post by Daron »

Hiya,

I've just seen this on ebay:-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-HONDA-CIVIC- ... dZViewItem


What do you think? Any comments or things i should look out for with this?

I've not had a CRX before and as i cant find the right i16 i thought i might give this a go!

Cheers

It's needed arches and other body work, so just make sure the rest is fine..............

Personally with that mileage, that many owners and that much welding I think 1K is towards the top end. Better to buy a £500 one and get the work done yourself, that way youd know for sure it was right :?:

cheers for all the comments!

My favorite is "chav and old" :lol:

It's always a real risk buying older cars especially if when i'm not the most mechanically minded! But i want a car that someone else has already done the hard work to ie bodywork, rust respray etc

I'm going to keep an eye on this one and a couple others and see what happens, but i guess it will be the usual end of auction price rush that always seems to leave me as "outbid"!
cheers
