'93 Honda Civic DX Coupe -- Good Project Car?
I may have the opportunity to buy a '93 Civic DX Coupe 5-speed with 140K miles from the original owner. Full records, a little rust, runs great and efficient.
What's the most you'd pay for it, and would it be a good project car? RH77 |
Where's the rust?
I'd pay $1500 for it. :D probably more if the rust wasn't too significant and/or in an easily reparable spot. Though it's probably in the rear quarter panel :( I think a coupe would make a great project car, as they have pretty nice shape (aerodynamically speaking) compared to the hatchback. That, and all the VX/CX stuff should swap right in for a killer highway machine. |

But the low mileage and one-owner is perfect. Interior = good shape, mechanicals = great, and early 90's simplicity. So they called today and asked if a '91 Merc 420SEL was a reliable replacement. Despite my deviant thoughts to get them to unload the Honda, I couldn't do it. We know the parts would eat them alive. We'll see what develops. RH77 |
Doo eet!

Yuck. Rust in the rear quarters sucks. Then again, I hate bodywork. My idea of bodywork is buying a new hood/trunk/front fender/door and bolting it on. |

But should that pull the value down a bit? I need to find out if they're getting rid of it. But I don't want to act too excited to buy it -- it's like getting the phone number in the movie "Swingers": Quote:
