Civic ex 94

it is located near me, so i might get it, but is it worth 7k? kbb says 4k for a stock item like it, but with the extras, i would say maybe 6-7k, and if anyone has unlimited carfax reports please help me cuz it says there are 11 reports and that would help a lot

i wouldnt touch it. You dont know how well anything was installed. They needed to rebuild it at 86,000 miles? This thing was beaten to hell and back. Stay away or you will open yourself up to a money pit.

EDIT: I really think that the 3/4" gap between the front of the spoiler and the deck lid is classy ;)

no, it wont. The only thing it will tell are accidents and major insurance claims(flood, salvage, etc).

Ugh. KBB. I prefer to look at edmunds and NADA rather than KBB.

Check them all out, and look at the median value.

Avoid.
With that high mileage, it's worth $5-6k at most.
Not accounting for the turbo (but accounting for most other options) and assuming that it is in excellent condition (which it probably isn't, despite the owner's claims*), KBB say that it is worth $4,900

*Most owners who heavily modify their cars like to think that their cars are in perfect condition, but in fact they tend to be very hard on their vehicles. Also, they always want well over KBB because they are trying to recoup the investment they have put in the car. In reality, a vehicle for daily driving is almost never worth more than high KBB.
