I need to start linking cars when I see the ad. I keep having difficulty finding them afterward. The Acura has been for sale for a while and may have expired, but this morning the owner dropped the price from $600 to $100. I pulled up the ad when I received the notification, but I cannot find it now. I asked the owner if she sold it and she responded no. She previously told me "It will [run], needs a new fuel line. Been cut. Tire rod and two new tires."

I think this is the only picture they posted:

I was going to ask a mobile mechanic to see how much work it needed, but I am waiting for the ad to reappear or something.
Oh, the owner said that she is selling it for $250, she just put $100 "because I needed to put something."

The truth? Why isn't the truth an option?

Here is the only picture of the Accent:

190,000 miles and simultaneously a manual and an automatic, a hatchback, and a sedan. They say it starts, but doesn't run. Would you rather fix up an Acura or an Accent?

Now, this is a hatchback!

A quarter-million miles on a bad engine. What kind of gauge is that?

Here is a remanufactured engine for $489: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Civic...oAAOSwhOdXolDn
V-TEC! Why is that too hard for everyone to remember!
Where does one find all of those legendary low-mileage JDM engines? I couldn't find anything!

Here is the Galante:

There are several more pictures and all the rest look great. It seems to have nice features, but it needs a new bumper, windshield, and headlight. 152,000 miles. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...1854768556805/

Only the Civic really belongs here, but while I am sharing one local car...

I have not even checked Craigslist or OfferUp lately!

OfferUp is being a pain. I ask for cars in my ZIP and it shows Phoenix.
