BeatBox Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 check brakes, rotors, see if the engine has any oil on it, tires a wearing evenly! paint is good, body panel line up with one another... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loudcivic Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 pop the hood check for over spray in case it has been wrecked. make sure no grinds when going into gear and tranny shifts smooth. check all fluids to make sure there all full. make sure the antifreeze doesnt have any additives in it like there trying to hide a head gasket leak. you will notice if its really dark and slimy. just all around check it over and get on it a little bit make sure the engine sounds good and pulls good. you will hear a noise similar to a lifter knock but its the fuel injectors they are noisy at least on the older motors Quote 2015 silverado crew cab nothing atm but soon...

Emoxihax Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 6200 for a 90k mile car? a civic at that? Quote 2004 Volkswagen GLI 1 10" Skar VVX ^^^ Looking for an amp to run it, Pm me if you have one ^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudcivic Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 do you realize how much honda products hold there value. i paid 4400 for 93 hatch with a swap, struts and springs were on it, and extra set of rims. anso had 120k on it when i got it. the resale value stays up there and thats why hes payin that price for the car with that many miles on it.
