Checked out a GSR yesterday, opinions?

Hello all,

I'm new on here and have been looking for an Integra for some time now. Yesterday I went to go check out a GSR locally and wanted to get some opinions on it. It's a '94 DC2 with 200,xxx miles; body/paint looked pretty clean besides a fairly mean dent on the passenger side door. Mechanically it seems to pull pretty hard and shifts smoothly. The clutch feels a bit soft and the during the test drive the clutch pedal fell to the floor a couple of times (probably slave cylinder). It's all stock and the owner (a bit of an older lady) is the original owner. Personally I thought it was a great car but the thing that's bothering me is she doesn't have any service records and doesn't remember when any of the critical maintenance was performed (timing belt, clutch, plugs/wires, etc.). The car also burns about a quart of oil per ~1000 miles and I'm kind of hesitant because of the high mileage. She's asking $3600 for it (and is pretty firm). What do you guys think?

Thanks for any help!


********EDIT: 9/26/2008********

Checked out another one yesterday, here are the details:
1997 DC2 w/ 84,000 miles
2nd owner, with service records of everything she has done in the past 5 years (60k service, tune-ups, etc.), NO timing belt though.
She also mentioned that for 97's they didn't pass Cali. emissions (or something like that) and the dealer performed some kind of repair/maint. for this.
Car needs a new radiator, and nothing else; body is clean.

About how much should I offer for this?

Thanks a lot!

too much for a car that burns a quart a 1000 miles... dents gonna cost you to fix, and clutch problems are never good... no service records=no purchase in my book...

I picked up a '94 gsr w/ 164,xxx for $2700. Look around and be patient, something better will come along. I wouldn't purchase that vehicle.

I'd say be careful. First, when your slave cylinder starts to go, start saving for a new clutch, because thats the next thing to go. Also, unless you have cash sitting around for a timing belt replacement, or plan on doing a swap soon, you want to know when the timing belt was last replaced.

I would offer 5000 due to the maintence. Reason being is that the person selling the 84000 mile gsr most likely wants top dollars if he knows what he has. So if you offer 5000 he'll say i wont let it go for less than 5500 and that when you start dealing out numbers. Lets put it this way if you write a check or have 5000 on hand that person attitude will change (price wise) since you actually have the money and its right in front of him. You'll be surprised at the dumb decisions people make when that much money is involved right in front of their face.
