Thanks for all your help guys, you've all been really helpful. I thought the $8000 Integra was a manual, but it turns out that it's an automatic, so both cars are auto (I'd prefer manual).

There is one other 'tegra in my area that is a manual. It's a '94 with 55k miles for $4500 (asking price). I'm not sure I want to touch it because (1) it's 13 years old and (2) when I carfaxed it, they said it was in an area that had flooding.

What do you guys think about the age?

Also, will a mechanic be able to determine whether or not it's suffered flood dammage?
