Came across a deal for a 97 sedan. THe body is almost perfect(except for a few scratches), interior is suppost to be perfect from what my girlfriend described. the reason its such a deal is that the interor (mainly dash and floor carpet) was soaked because it was missing the front windshield for a while and it rained. Other then a damp smell everything looked ok (girlfriend).... should there be something specificly that i should be looking at when i go to check this car to make sure that its coo?

Milage is about 95k.


it sounds like a deal for about 3k.

 

I'd check that all the basic dash electronics still work. My ECU was completely submerged before though, and it dried out and worked fine shortly thereafter.

 

3k sounds really good. What model and trans is it.

 

lol, don't know yet... my girlfriend was the one that looked at it yesterday. I'm going tomorrow to check it out.

It has a manual tranny so thats a plus. :thumbup:

I'm hoping its a dx. Thats one of the lighter 6gen civics right. :naughty:

 

jup, its a dx.




help me out people... I'm going tomorrow to look at it inside-out and drive it around for a bit. But I want to know what possible damages to look for.

 

RUST! i once seen this clean 280z at work gettin a stereo put in, when my friend pull the deck out, the rust behind it was enormous, the guy said his nephew put a water hose in and turn it on. the damage was insane. so check thoroughly before buyin it.

 

thank you. WIll definitly check for that. Althought the water damage was pretty recent. Is there something i can use to prevent rust, like those outdoor furniture sprays?
