Trying to get this:

'92 Civic DX 4 door with blown engine.

Hopefully, it's clean like they say, and I can work out a deal with them.

(I know, $600 is a deal for a clean chassis, but I'm cheap, and it's not a big priority right now.)

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.

I'd wait a couple weeks and offer $300 if its still there... Unless its like new $600 seems like a lot to me. $600 is a running car high mileage car that needs brake work or something to certify around here.

I agree with IndyIan. I think Ben Nelson got his Metro (running) for $350?

Normally, I'd agree with you on this... but if you check prices of EG Honda (92-95 Civic models), especially around here, they don't come down too often for less than $2500, even when they need work, and ricers snatch them up. It's an artificial market inflation, but it still affects those of us who would like to see them cheap.

I'm not buying it for more than $200 or a trade, though.
