Default 98 dx hatch

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/car/371818418.html

What do you all think about that one? That's kinda odd that it only has 48k on it, and isn't $3800 cheap for something with that few miles? One thing that does turn me away from it is the seller sounds like a complete retard. Anywho...Opinions? 2 questions really. 1 How much do you all think it would cost to repair the dents and 2 did those come with power windows and locks or not? Ya I know why don't I just call, cause I don't feel like it! haha, na I want some opinions on it before I do if I do. Thanks

Nice looking car, it would be better to get the whole car painted.
If the car haspower windows and locksthen no, it never came that way.
I say jump on it, if thats what your looking for.

That is one thing I'm looking for in a vehicle. I've got manual windows and locks now but I'd prefer electric. Would it be possible to get doors from like an EX to swap in? Or how could you go about making atleast the windows electric?

Heres the Civic that got me liking hatchbacks. I really like this one.

yes it is possible, but itsgonna be a lot of work, andif you are gonna do something like that, you are gonna have to have a really good understanding of how electrical equipment works and how to read a wiring diagram. make sure that you get wiring diagrams, and follow them exactly, its also good to have a good understanding of relays and how they work. unless you are dead set on getting a hatch, I would just save the tiem and effort and buy an ex or si if you want the power stuff. I know that it can be done because I have been going back and forth on doing this myelf, but I know its gonna be a pain, even having the understanding of electrical systems and relays that I do.

That is a very nice write up someone did. Power windows is the main thing I'd like, locks would be nice to but not as much of a want.

Don't you guys think it's kinda odd it only has 48k miles or w/e? I don't work tomorrow so I think I might call about it. I'll ask why it has such low miles. If other than the dents, it's in perfect shape, it's worth it isn't it? Also what motor should it have in it, d16y7 correct? Heck, while I'm askin questions how much/ how hard is a Mini-Me? lol I'm to tired to search right now.

Oh and no, I'm not set on a hatch. It's just they seem to go cheaper and you don't see as many it seems like. (around here, think I've seen only 1 lol well that and a CRX) I'd like an EX but their either over priced, something is wrong, riced, or and auto lol. I'm having trouble finding a stock or nice EX that's a manual and not over priced. Or a 4 door I guess.
