Hatchbacks are rare?
 

I have been looking to get a civic hatch for quite a while now around Iowa and up around Minnesota and have yet to find one.Im starting to think about getting a VW Golf(i know im desperate). I was just wondering if they are hard to come by in your area.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

Dont get a golf no matter how desperate you are :D. Just keep looking through auto traders, and youll eventually find one. What years are you looking at btw?

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

at this point... any

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

do a wider search instead of just like a couple hundred miles and see what you come up with

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

Everything is rare when you are looking for it. It took me around 4/5 months before I found what I was looking for. Just hang in there, good things come to those who wait ;)

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

ive seen like 6 ek hatchs for sale within a 10 mile radius around me in just the last month

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

dayuuum. where do you live?

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

click my profile it tells u duh ::D

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

I'm in Michigan. When I decided I wanted an EG hatch I started looking in Cars.com and Autotrader.com every morning and every evening.

I searched within 300 miles of home. Very few hatches went up for sale and the ones that did ran about 150% of bluebook value. Finally I found a guy selling his 95 CX for bluebook value and I started calling every hour till he answered the phone and told him I'd come with cash.

He told me that after I called, he took the first 10 names and numbers of ppl interested, then gave up and just saying the car was sold so they'ed stop calling.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

autotrader or carmax.com. both will ship the cars to you if you're willing to pay the extra fee.

whatever you do, DO NOT buy a VW. lol.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

i wasn't even looking for a 92-95 coupe my wife said go to a few honda dealers and i said yeah right went to airport honda in maryville tn looked around on the front of the used car lot nothing walked around back and boom the was a nice purple 93 coupe someone had just traded in so i got lucky at first they wanted $5995. for it i laughed told the sales man i would give $3200. for it out the door and they accepted the offer so you might want to try some honda dealers you might get lucky oh you don't see many hatches around here

plus im new to the forums im 13 and we currently got a new 2001 Civic 2d EX fully loaded with everything. :)

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

hey whats up benzon. yea this one looks pretty good to me. do you still play socom?

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

BUY IT

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

yeah i think this one looks realy good you might want to hagle the price a little to lets say 4,000 and work your way up from there. also yeah i still play socom when i get someone tells me to get online but the problem is i dont like how the mic works on it and you cant free talk and everyone takes turns.

but back on topic i think that civic will looks sweet with carbon hood and jdm headlights with a carbon jdm lip.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

and its black too thats a plus snag it up lol

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

w00t, definately snag that, good solid base for a project, good find[sm=smiley20.gif]

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

didnt mean to be off topic, but why not golf? my buddy just recently bought a used VW golf... whats wrong with golf?

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

nice its even an ek model which is a little bit newer but has the exsact same aftermarket support as the eg.... snatch that baby up dude...

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

Golfs are unrelaible, slow in 12 valve 2.0 form, don't get good gas mileage (like 34 MPG max) and have really bad resale value.. Oh and prepare to empty your bank account when something needs to be fixed.. You'd be much happier with a Civic, heck you'd be happier with a Dodge Neon..

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

snatch that hatch!!! hatchs arnt to rare in my area but they are rare when it comes to trying to buy one. my friend has been looking for a good ek hatch for about a year now and has only come across a couple. wasnt able to get them tho...but hes still looking.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

i cannot get ahold of the people. its pissing me off.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

I'll agree with you on that one. I'm lookin for an EG Coupe, i found one in my price range on Craigslist. I e-mailed the guy a week ago and the guy still hasn't emailed me back. Haven't found another one since.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

There's plenty of hatches in South Africa... Actually, we only have hatches from 96' up and Ballades which i think are Civic Sedans.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

Whuh? How can 34 MPG be a bad thing? I can barely get my Civic to give me much more than 23.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

what kind of injectors and modifications are you running dude^^^^^^^

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

It's all stock except for aluminum air intake & hi-flow filter.

RE: Hatchbacks are rare?
 

hey guys well i couldnt get ahold of the last hatch i was looking at but what do you all think of this?
