Yeah. How can ACV be that low? My 91 Accord is worth more then that.

Nutbucket : I have no idea how its so low, my dads boss felt bad about when i tried to get a 2000 accord, and must have been in a good mood. The dealership lets you buy 2 cars a year at a The car has had a single owner, and yes it is a clean title. I saw the guy today.. he had a long beard and long hair.

Redhotjrm : I already have the rims/tires, I bought them for my civic, then the civic sh*t the bed so they have been siting in my living room for the past couple months, brand new. They are white 17" ADR rims with Kumho 712 tires. I got an awesome deal on the rims, but I still have to decide if I should sell them or keep them for the spring.

Lucky :) Good choice with the car. Just don't needlessly modify the car for no particular reason than the aesthetic one. It would surely be a waste. If I had my way, I'd drive the Integra as a beater and a BMW as a weekend/night car :D

Still... pretty cool early x-mas present :)

lol.I used to get excited about cars. Until you hit the traffic everyday, get into a car accident, get your car stolen, or find out how much your insurance company is ripping you a new one.

But, since your young and inexperienced, enjoy it while you can. Like they say, reality hits like a ton of bricks.

Thanks :) I won't be modding it for no reason.... but if I still have the rims by the spring, I think I will put them on and leave it at that. I think of it as an early x-mas present, only I am treating myself :p My dad was joking that I owe him the 27.5% commission for taking the car in trade :p, so I am definlty going to get him something really nice for christmas this year.

Regs: I can understand how you feel.. the reason I am pretty exictied about this car is that my first 3 cars were absolute beaters and have been a huge PITA for the past 2 years. I am only 19, been driving for about 2 and a half years and have yet to get pulled over or into any sort of an accident. But I can understand how much reality blows once something like that happens.

WHOOO HOOOO Just got home with the car... my dad had the oil changed, all the fluids filled... the mechanics said it was perrrrfect except that it might need a timing belt within the next 5000-10000 miles, no big deal though. AWESOME CAR. Pics will come soon.

Get the timing belt replaced if it needs it, that's nothing to screw around with.
You don't want the car to stall in the middle of nowhere.

GL with the car, two friends of mine have had Integras and they lasted for a LONG time. Both of them got over 200k without major problems. Can't beat that!

Nice find! The timing belt is nothing to ignore though...get that done ASAP if it needs it. If your timing belt breaks, it could cause major engine damage.

wow thats a crazy deal. Congrats. Enjoy it for that first fun filled week, after which it will be stolen.

LOL... an alarm will be a must purchase asap. Our crime rate in VT is really low, but once I put my rims on it in the spring, its defintly going to be a target for douche bags to try and steal.

Soooo, you're a riceboy?

When the hell does better rims equate with 'ricing'? I guess anybody who upgrades their factory stereo system is considered ricing too, right? Moron.
