I randomly checked for HXes and found this: https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/c...757514579.html

Quote:
-same owner past 5 years...driven cross country 2 times...excellent point a to point b vehicle but not pretty to look at
-well maintained and service up to date
-HX is the factory fuel efficient model with vtec-e
-extremely fuel efficient 4 cylinder . I usually get 37 mpg and have seen as high as 44 mpg
-good heat, ice cold a/c , power mirrors, door locks, windows, tilt wheel
-current emissions , and clean clear title
-adult owned, pretty much stock except for radio
-has typical Arizona sun faded and peeling paint, many dents and dings, carpet, headliner, and door panels rough
I know that people like to talk about the long trips they took in the car and that suggests highway miles, but it also reminds you of how many miles are on the car, although in this case 144,000 on a 1996?! 6,500 miles per year?!

Okay, it had a bad paint job, but why is the interior trashed?




I think this is the ugliest car of which I have ever seen this many pictures. I actually drive down tomorrow. I was planning on cleaning out my Accord before my date, although I should make an honest list. I could drive a rental, check out this car, and drive her back if she looks good, but we do not have room for three Hondas!

I can fix up Chorizo, but then transfer the good parts to this one?

If everything checks out (by me an an actual mechanic), should I offer $1,500 (and transfer the QuickValve?)
