For that much you can probably get a 5th gen prelude. I like the looks of it much better than either of the two mentioned here but of course I am biased.

Just got back. Dealer offered $7500. I countered with $6800, and dealer declined. If it was cheaper, I would have bought it, even though I'm not really enthusiastic about the car.

Yeah, I was going to say it looks like its been beaten.
The inside looks dirty as hell.
They didn't even do a good job cleaning it up and I can tell from just the picture.

Coming from an owner of 2 different Si, a 2000 Si with 86K miles CLEAN would be a good deal under $8K.

integras are pretty ugly imo


To each his own I guess.

Must classier looking than the car the OP listed IMO.

Nah, I like mine a alot better.
Civic Si
I wish I had that exact car back(minus the tail lights, I know).

My current one doesn't look to bad but I like the electric blue better

I still ike the styling of the 99-00 Civic Si as oppose to the current Si.
Put the current engine in the 00-99 Si, now thats a combo.

Fits the Si very nicely.

I'd probably pay upto like 9000 if I was in the market for one.

Dealer offered $7800 for it. I'm really tempted.

Counter-offer with, $7800 minus the cost of a new hood...

not even funny how easily civics si are stolen, it does not matter night, day, city or suburb. I personally know so many people that got their integra and civic si stolen. Someone's si got stolen during the day while street parked. I love Civic si but probably wont get it for that reason alone.

Nothing near what they are asking. It has probably been abused and will cause you problems.

no more than $7000 for the 1st one and wouldn't even consider the second one. you're just asking to lose whatever you'll pay for it because it will get stolen anyway.

i don't get the civic si... might as well get an integra for similar amount of money

A married female good friend and I went to NYC several months ago. She drove, THAT'S when I found out she traded-in her ABSOEFFINGLUTELY PRISTINE '99 red SI in on a Prius.

It had about 120,000 miles on it, and was both stock and totally, totally cherry. Not even a scratch on it, inside or out, and always dealer maintained. She thought that was too many miles, though.

I asked her how much she gotten on the trade-in, and she didn't even know! Her hubby (also my friend) has a hugely successful radon de-contamination business (he's a brain with several patents to his name) and pays the bills.

Sigh. I don't like red (for several reasons), but it's probably better I didn't know how little the dealer actually gave her for it. My little head might have popped.

Women sometimes! :disgust:
