Is this integra a good buy??

[soostrong]

Hey im just looking to buy an integra and found a potential one and was wondering what you guys think. I put the km to miles and the cad currency to usd to make it easier. and he didnt state what year it was

Great Car, Must Sell, Standard Transmission, Leather, Sunroof, Alarm, Cd player with Ipod connection, Subwoofer, Winter Tires w/rims, selling for $3500 CAD(2,805.02 USD). 245,000km(152235miles).

i gave him an email and offered him 2500. he replied

Air Intake. motor is in great shape, body is in good shape there is a little rust on the back, I would do 2750($2,203.94 USD) cash.

i just wanted to know if its a good deal or not? also how much would a motor swap cost me if i went thru with it. thanks for your help guys

i think that is a pretty clean car for that price. however i mean you do have to be really careful with northern cars. who knows where rust is hiding. and as far as a swap goes, i think you can find a full gsr swap for around 2700 and that is assuming you do the work yourself

thanks for the reply! so im looking at 3-4gs motor swapped at the shop... plus the car... am i better off taking that money somewhere else? dont really have a lot of cash to blow haha... i just love the fact that its leather... but i dont trust the miles on the car

and yeah unfortunately all i can buy is northern cars... ahh the rust

152K Miles is not that bad. What you should do is go check the car out and look underneath the rear to see if there's any rust at all. (I say the rear cuz it's the most easily inspectable). You might experience premature wear on certain bushings as well dude to "extreme" temperature changes, salted roads, etc. But if the car is in relatively good shape, that's a good deal.

Down here in Cali I saw essentially the same car going for 5K

like ^he said check it out. if ti doesnt look too bad then buy it and leave yourself some spending cash incase anything goes wrong / making anything better or nicer that you want

yea also be careful everything is in good working order, if it was driven in the snow, things go out faster

i'll ask the owner to check it out tomorrow but would this teggy come with tan leather? or black? i hope its black because not such a big fan of the tan

 

[rovingmind]

with that left front scuff, you'll want to have a look underneath and see how bad he curbed it. Definitely at that price, dont buy it without a decent test drive.

shit i paid 4grand for my teg here in Ky and its just an ls with cloth seats and is a theft recovery with dents and dings all over. if there is no rust or no major problems this is a hell of a deal.

this is good even tho is has like 150miles on it??? the guy is out of town until next week so i wont be able to see it until then, but ill let you guys knowhow it turns out. thanks for the replies

as long as you take care of them integras will last you a good amount of time you should be fine if its around 150

that seems like a good deal. i mean around here in MA i bought my teg for 1300 ls, cloth interior, pretty clean just needs paint on the new front clip. take the car out for a test drive and step on it. cuz you wanna make sure when this car is going fast or slow that there isnt any unusual noises. but if that checks out all the power to ya! good luck. keep us posted

And what things are these? I am just wondering bc I have been living in MO and we getting a little bit of everything and I have more problems in the summer with car then in the winter.
