Default Good Deal???

A fellow new poster asked if he got a good deal, I would like to ask the same... Im new to the civic world-
1998 Civic Coupe EX 5 speed 133,000 miles, completely stock, new kumho tires, new paint job (fair) $3,000.
How did I do? from looking at ebay and craigslist, I feel like I got a decent deal... checked the mileage already, getting 35.8 on the interstate and 27 around town... Ill try to post pics soon.

HAS THE vehicle been in any accidents? check the front axle boots for tears or cracking, this is a relatively expensive fix if you are doing it at a shop and quite time consuming if you are going to do it yourself.

but if everything is clean i would say thats a heluva deal =D

As per Kbb.com
Excellent $4,030
Good $3,605
Fair $3,080

As Croninc says, if everything checks out fine, you got yourself a nice deal. +1 on white.. I have always had a thing for white Coupes

I like the white too... seems like everyone I saw was red, nothing against red, just dont like to stand out that much. The car seems fine, since I bought it Sunday, Ive put close to 500 miles on it and no issues yet... I do need a new head liner and I ordered some seat covers from precisionfit.com. The interior isnt as clean as I would like, but new floor mats, steering wheel cover, head liner and seat covers will go a long way in making it look better. I bought it originally just to commute, but now I put my truck on craigslist, I think Im hooked
