I only dropped 500 for my nonriced 95 civic hatch. The bumpers have taken a little abuse and the speedo is funky otherwise it is in fine shape. Once I move to town and start driving it an MPGuino and some aero mods will fix up those shortcomings nicely.

When I got my current samurai I paid 500 for two (would love to find a similar deal on a pair of metros) The man I bought them from said that one don't run good and the other does not run at all. I adjusted the timing on the one that ran bad and have been driving it the last 2 years or so, the other I put gas in it and traded it for a 500 dollar gun.
