I'd pay $1500 for it. probably more if the rust wasn't too significant and/or in an easily reparable spot. Though it's probably in the rear quarter panel
Rear Quarters. Yup.

I miss my Civic coupes -- '96 DX 5-Speed, zero options (OK, tape deck) and a '99 Si (man I miss that car -- I could probably get the same mileage now if I kept my foot out of VTEC). Plus the fold down seats and cargo capacity -- not as good as a hatch, tho.

But the low mileage and one-owner is perfect. Interior = good shape, mechanicals = great, and early 90's simplicity.

So they called today and asked if a '91 Merc 420SEL was a reliable replacement. Despite my deviant thoughts to get them to unload the Honda, I couldn't do it. We know the parts would eat them alive. We'll see what develops.
