Default First civic/car purchase, how'd I do? :)

Been driving a blazer since I was 15 having always wanted a small coupe, more ****ifically a civir or integra. I recently totaled the blazer, so while I've been car shopping I've been driving around a borrowed camry. I finally stumbled on a winner (imo) and won the auction tonight for $7300. Check out the car's page and tell me how I did!

I'm sooo stoked to pick it up in a couple days. Has that blacked out look that I love (black paint, rims, and tints) plus other goodies (moonroof, after-marked headlights and exhaust), modded pedals, v-tech, etc.

Be honest with how it looks and for what I bought it for, but don't be brutal!

Peace,

Greg

pretty sweet looking except the slushbox ...its risky buying on ebay cause you dont get to test drive it, who knows what problems could be lurking under the hood...or why they are even selling it.

Is it just me or does that car not even look like a civic?

yea thats the same body style I have. Mine is 2003 two door, white, ex model vtec engine, automatic. I got it about a week ago for 7k with 90k miles as a trade in car for a nissan dealorship, for less than the wholesale price. If everything mechanically is fine on yours, which if the person took care of the exterior nicely, they probably took car of the engine to, then I'd say you got a good deal on it. just watchout and check the carfax. it might be a salvage title.

I love it! Thats what I want my civic to look like when I'm done. All I need now are the wheels.

I have the same grill and tint.

It's a nice civic, but automatic transmissions FTL (I have an auto too)

But the car looks great and congratulations

What does FTL mean?

I don't like black or automatic or the wheels. The radio looks like my Alpine 9887 - real good HU!

It's a good deal for the price and since it's modded.

The one car that my brother ever bought on ebay had too many problems to name.
The seller just said it was an older car (it was only 4 years old)
Be careful man.
Good looking, but almost looks too good to be true.
Make sure to get it checked out.
