Those fogging/yellow headlamps do not represent 14K worth of wear.

Alright right now I'm trying to get as much info and learn as much as I can about the car I want to get. So what other cars besides the Honda Civics are good ones in the $5000 prince range? Some Civic's I've seen are very good, but I want to look for other types of cars too, to compare. And dang, it's so exiting buyinh a car! Oh and Thnx in advance =D

Default I did it.

I bought a civic for $4000.00.
He was asking $5600.
94 SI with a b18b Frank motor.
B16 head & Cams w/Type R intake manifold.
Hondata ECU, intake, exhaust, header, suspension, the whole bit.
I would say ~150Hp to the front wheels.
It has had some problems, but I knew it would when I bought it.
Any tuned car is going to have more reliability issues than a stock car.
The whole pay to play thing...
It is a ton of fun to play in that is for sure.
