CiViC2nR86

I decided to just get a loan from the bank to get a car. These are the three main candidates, which Integra would you think be the best buy?

1998 LS with 46kMiles (Silver) for $8,500 (Might be able to bargain down a little bit) + Tax, Title, Registration. Haven't seen it yet but looks clean from exterior picture.

2000 LS with 35kMiles (Silver) for $10,500 (Might be able to bargain down a little bit) + Tax, Title, Registration. Havent seen it yet but it also looks clean from exterior picture.

1999 GS-R with 53kMiles (White) for $13,500 OUT THE DOOR . I have taken a look at this one, it has an RS-R Exhaust, Cold Air INTAKE, Catback, 17" Grayish Rims with Polished LIP, New tires. Black Leather Interior. Its missing the speakers and tweaters, but he is going to replace it for me. Small quartersize ding on driver side quarter panel. I like this one, but for a couple more grand do you think I should just get the GS-R?

Any input is greatly appreciated!! Below is a picture of the GS-R I have mentioned.

So you would get it in a heartbeat? BTW what is your name SHoreTEG, you reply to a lot of my thread, so might as well introduce ourself. I am Winston, My first car was a civic, sold, then got a messed up 4dr GSR with b16, sold, now deciding on these three cars.

My name is Mike. My first car was a 1992 Honda Prelude Si. Blew the head at 180,000 miles. Still have the car sitting in the woods behind my driveway waiting for $$$ to turn it into a Solo I auto crosser. Second car 1993 VTEC Prelude totalled by stupid b!tch in a Sante Fe making an illegal U-turn on the Atlantic City Expressway. I only had the car for 2 months. I miss that car so bad. anyway getting back to the subject...
I wouldnt buy any car in a heartbeat unless it was brand new. But that car is clean looking. Things I look for in a car are maintenance records, cleanliness of interior, exterior and engine bay, carfax availability and of course its gotta run strong in the test drive. Is the GSR being sold by a private party or by a dealer??? Since the car is only 4 years old it should still be very reliable. Ask the guy questions about how he drove it. Is it the original owner? Did he beat on it before it got broken in? Did he VTEC alot? etc etc. Did he ever race it??? I ask lots en lots of questions before I buy a car. I actually tracked down the previous owner of my current Teg from the dealership and asked him how well he took care of it. You gotta be real carefull cause everone is out to make a quick buck and they dont care about screwing you in the process.

Umm... because of price differences, you could make the LS much faster and more fun to drive. I would grab the 8500$ LS and use the other 5k for bolt-ons/suspension/wheels/blah blah, or just go turbo.

Plus GS-R ins will rape you man. Its not worth it. I dreaded every ins payment

Shore 96 Teg

he's already had a GSR so i dont think INS money is something hes really worried about

Still.. I went from GS-R to LS, and im telling you, the stock vs stock difference is NOT worth 5000$.

If they are both well maintained etc... i dunno, its up to you. Try the LS, you'll like the 1st - 3rd... and then the GS-R will pass 5000$ in mods is definitally worth it though.

Mmmm... that GS-R is clean...

Leather interior would definitely be a plus in either one of those cars? do either of them have it? if so which?

aphex

Why is leather interior a plus?
