Ok, here’s the criteria. 1. NOT a project car. 2. Stock condition. No mods. 3. Little to no rust. Pref. none. 4. 5 speed (or 4 speed, what have you) 5. Less than $2000. Looking to pick up a car for about $1000, but will spend a little more if the car is nice enough, and suits what I"m looking for. Adhere to these criteria, and stay on topic please. Thanks. ---

Jam, I just kind of want something newer/cleaner. But you’re right, nothing can stop that Civic. ---

Man up? Dude, I’m buying a house. Buy a house and you’ll realize what you need to spend on, and what you kind of want to spend money on. Dan knows my situation, I explained it fully to him. I made an offer, I know what he wants, it is a great deal, but it’s more than I’m willing to spend right now. ---

It’s been extremely good to me in a year plus ownership. Have only had to replace the brake accumulator/pressure switch. And go figure, they’re delco parts. Ok, enough bullshitting, back on topic. ---

C service was a choice. Previous owner had no records of it, so I did it. That’s called basic maintenance and peace of mind. Who wouldn’t do that? It’s not something I’ll need to worry about for another 5 years or so anyways. I’m super glad I did it. ---
