My new 97 ex!
Well after the disappointment with the Si I found this beauty! Just bought her today! She was at dealer, 95k miles clean as can be, bone stock except for the rims I already got on it. Paid 4.5k for it, I know that's more then I'd get one on CL for but this way I know it is inspected and the previous owner bought it new and was an older person so she was taken care of and was not driven hard at all (yet). I don't plan on doing too hardcore modding to it, just going to do more appearence then anything. Car of the year for senior year, no competition? Here's some pics, tell me what you think!
Ah the beautiful stock engine!
I love the rims I picked up! Paid $700 for them, brand new tires on them too! Still have their whiskers.
Front View. It is more of a dark blueish green, looks green at night and more blue in the sunlight.
Side view.
Miles on it, not bad at all for the year (94k).
Interior is unbelivably clean!
Well there she is, I'll take some better pics eventually and lots of pics as things go on it! Thanks for looking!

Sweet purchase!
in case you're wondering what exactly you have, the wheels are Drag DR-17's
I guess it's a little too late to get 16" and/or maybe you like 17" rims or whatever... I think they look too big. What seems too big is mostly the fact that they really make the brakes look tiny. I think it would be cool and would look much better if you got a big brake kit or something.

In fact, 16" would be cheaper online. Hell, 17" might be cheaper online brand new.
with better tires too

that's pretty much what my civic was like when I bought it a few years ago. Stock, same color, similar mileage(mine's a 2000 though, damn commuters ), came with similar rims.
yeah the height looks bad in pics, but in person it doesn't look as bad lol
if you plan on doing anything to it later take a look at mine, see if you get any ideas.
Take care of it and it'll be good for years
knocks on wood, I haven't had any problems yet, unless you count one of the bulbs in my cluster going out.
