I'm planning on gettin a civic next summer for 5 K or so. I want to hear u guys (and girls) opinion on what gen of civic to get. I likethe 92-95 hatchback but i looked on ebay and saw a 99 si that i liked. So what kind of civic should i get.

 

I don't think you will be able to find a 99 si for under 5k. If your looking for civics with some pep try to get EX or SI models. If I were you I would save up one more grand. With 6k you should be able to find a decent ride with less than 150,000 miles.

 

you could probably get a decent 92-95 hatch for 5K or even less...depends where you wanna go with it...

if you wanna swap get one with high milage for cheep then spend money on a new engine

there are a lot of civics with salvage titles just for being stollen and returned..


thats what i would get.

 

I saw a 95 GSR that i liked. How much do they run? I think I'm goin to go with a hatchback

 

I agree, 92-95 hatchbacks look good, and are reliable. Go for a Si hatchback, or a Ex coupe. 5spd of course!!!

 

If you get lucky and with patience you might get a 99-00 Si for about 6 grand.

I got my 00 Si almost 3 yrs ago for $8,000 with title change and taxes..CAsh money. I hate payments. With only 43,225 miles on it. It came with aem adjustable cams and no other mods. It's currently hitting the 57,000 mark

 

Thaks guys I'll keep looking around and hopefully i'll find a good deal by next summer.

 

OK my budget has been cut down to about 3500. Can I get a decent 5 spdhatch for this with under 150 k miles? Where should I lookto find 1 cuz theresnot many in the small Ky town I live in.

 

i paid 2k for a 92 hatch w/ 149k on the body and 100k on the motor w/ a salvage title. buy from an individual not one of those small private dealerships, they will charge wayyyy too much.

 

I'l keep looking around but it's hard to find one where im at. Might start goin 2 local sales might get lucky.
