Well, the rust has been painted over. You can't see it unless you look between the bumper and body (rear fender). But, you can tell that it will come back and probably fairly soon. It does appear to be a stock VX, and the main problem these days is finding an unmolested VX. Also, I didn't get a chance to look under the hood so I'm not 100% that there hasn't been an engine swap done. The car did look completely stock though, no fart can on the back. IMO though, you can get a Civic shell for pretty cheap, and find yourself a VX engine, rebuild it, and put the whole gambit on the road for well under $4k. However, this is already done for you. I did just see an HX a while back for $3500 that was in pretty good shape, but it had 130k miles on it. So, is it worth it? Eh... I think its overpriced.
