    That's true, I just sent him an e-mail asking him to make a quick vid of the car idling and then another one of the car driving so I can listen to the car and see what's up...He says it runs and drives so if he messages me back and tells me that it doesn't drive, than it's going down the tubes. When I get the vid's I will post them...assuming he makes them.

      Why not just look for an unmodded vehicle that isn't a pile of crap?

              Buy a unmodded car and save alot of time messing with other poeples ghetto mods and stuff like that. 100% is IMO the only way to buy a car unless you know the car.

              PM me for:

              Diesel repairs or performance products.

                That and have you looked at where this car is? The damn thing is in California. Thats a long ways away to buy a car without driving it or anything.

                  Yea, your all right...I'm not sure I would be interested in the civic wagon because it's the wrong year and wrong style. I'm looking for a 96+ Civic hatch and it's got to be a 5spd or a GST-GSX 5 spd with a good price...of course with the DSM I won't find anything for the price range that I'm looking in...

                    Save your money and get something worthwhile, aka not a civic or DSM.

                        Good news, I didn't buy that DSM...lost it by 200 bucks! Phew....that was a little to close. haha If I were to buy it, I would have had to force my parents into buying my car which is why I am looking on ebay...to force my parents into giving me what I want for the car...They won't let me post it in the paper until after graduation which won't be until May 27th so as soon as the 27th comes and goes, it's in the paper it goes and the price is going to be 7000 whether the people of fargo like it or not. It's worth it because it's going to get a kid through college and the first five years of their life.

                          Good choice. Personally, I would look for something around town here or even in the cities rather than going across the country for a vehicle. Have you considered anything other than a DSM or Civic? PM me if you want help or whatever looking for cars.

                            I would kill for a Mazda RX7 or a Toyota Supra TT, but both those cars retail value's are through the roof...so there's no chance in hell that I would be able to afford them.
