Default '89 Integra LS

Hi, I need some opinions. I just found a '8x Integra LS(not sure but I would guess '89) with manual, sunroof, 120,000 miles for $1900. Now I haven't call the owner yet, how much do you think is a good price for it? I checked VMRINTL.com, it's worth $1400-2500 so that doesn't help. Should I go for it? I will most likely do a B18B turbo later, so how much do you think I should offer? Thanks in advance.

What do you mean it's hard to work with? What engine does it have? B18B? or is it a ZC? Is it easy to swap a newer B18B into the car? Thanks.

suspension pieces are hard to find, it has a dohc 1.6 nonvtec in there.

ive seen a few, very few, super clean 1st gen integras, but theres nothing much else, except the car's paint has been refreshed, lowered, wheels, and exhaust.

The car is clean, no mods, good paint, no rust, over all it's in good condition, and I don't really care about no VTEC, I was planning to go B18B turbo, how hard is it to find coilovers, shocks, and sway bars for this car? Would I need a HAsport mount kit to swap a B18B? (Does HAsport make a mount kit for 1st gen Teg?) Thanks for your help.

Civic is lighter, shorter, most of the Integra parts will swap over, thats why I originally want a Civic Hatch. But I can't find one cheap in my area, so right now I'm looking at the Integra. Is you Integra the 1st Gen? If so, How hard is it to find suspension upgrades? Did you do a engien swap? Thanks.

the front suspension has torsion bars, kinda odd, but people make aftermarket ones that make it stiffer and whatever....the engine is basically an american version of the ZC... most parts aren't interchangeable though....not a ton you can do to it compared to other hondas, but you can get all the basic bolt ons and if you wanted, you could do some head or piston swapping to up the compression depending on if it's 86-87 or 88-89.....it's just limited....

So none of the suspension parts can interchange with the 2nd gen Teg? Oh well, I'm probably not going to buy it then. Thanks.
