<![CDATA[Buying a civic, help.]]>Well, gas is kicking my ass, and I don't need such a large car, so I am selling it and getting a civic. I want to get a ~1990 civic hatch, but I don't know ANYTHING about hondas or civics. right now I just want it to run and get good gas mileage, but eventually, I might mod it. What should I stay away from? Does it matter what model I should get? What should I look for when buying one. I found a 1990 civic Dx, 1.5L FI manual, 141K miles, decent shape, for $1995...is that any good, or is that too high of a price? Thank you.

EDIT: selling my winter beater, not my Trans Am.

If there is no rust, clean title, and atleast a 'relatively' clean car I would pay up to the 2k asking price.

JUST STAY AWAY FROM RUST!

That's a rip, talk him down alot!
