Hey guys! 1st time poster. Im from Guelph Ont, and wanting to get a integra. anytype is really fine, im looking at these type of cars cause i want to be able to modify them in the future. I found a few kijiji ads, but dont know if these are decent prices or just terrible rip offs.

Also if people could give me any common problems or things to look out for when inspecting a Teg, that would help me out alot! Heres a few links, my budget is $3000 sadly :( but i might be able to stretch it to $4K, heres a few cars i was checking out. Honest feedback greatly appreciated guys :) thanks

p.s. i love manual, so im probably leaning towards that.

THAT ^ any good.....
So theres a few i really like, im going to be contacting the sellers, Are high KMs really bad? or is 250Km on a Integra nothing these days?. Any common problems that people try to hide if selling a car? any known Integra issues throughout the years? Id appreciate alot of feedback as im trying to get a 1st car and really leaning to Integras because there reliable, cheap on parts? (from what im told) and a good overall car.

thanks for the help!

Go with one of the manual ones. Auto is fine, but you'll get crap for it and it takes more work to tune right. The one you really like would be okay but really high mileage and the body kit would have to go IMO.... Be sure they are up to date on maintinence, with a history if possible. Great cars though, treat it right and it will last you a lifetime :thumbs up

Yeah im leaning to the ones that are under 3K right now, Agreed, that body kit is a eye sore after awhile haha. Im also thinking of sticking to manual, wait not thinking, Will Be. Its hard finding a good teg with a less than 200K for a decent price. Ive updated the orginal post to include a few extra ones i had found:

That's a pretty good price range. And yes, yes it is haha. But manual is a good way to go. That last one is super clean! Especially for the price. Only thing I'd complain about if I was buying it would be that it already has mods on it haha

Yeeah i saw that haha. But that is a good idea. And dealer usually comes with a little warranty.

And go easy on autos, I haz one :lol:

Yeah i might just bite the bullet and go for a dealer one, i mean the kijiji ones i posted are nice and all, but im too self conscious about the car breaking down within a month or something. haha dont worry, my car right now is a automatic, 2000 Mazda protege, nothing special. I just like manuals :) thanks for the tips klutch, really appreciate it. Lets see if other Teg guys have input, im trying to build a wealth of knowledge before going out and actually buying a Teg in a week or 2.

i think we all agree with that :) its just hard finding them for a good price, im still a student but my price range isnt too bad. Ive seen a few gems that are around 3K or less, but boy they go fasttttt. I might pop into a dealership and see whats up, most of them are clean and re certified vehicles.

edit* any common problems that integras have? or is it just if maintained well you dont run into really too much hassles? :)
