thinking of buying a 94 ex coupe
so like the title says i am thinking of buying this civic coupe that went on sale in my condo complex, i kinda know the "lil old lady" that owns it...
its a 94 ex, with 45,000 miles, she is the original owner and i hate parking next to her cause she always keeps that damn thing clean all year round...lol
so anyway, what do you think i should pay for it? are there any recalls or problems specific to that year/model i should know about? what other problems should i look for? thanks in advance.

there are some problems hondas have over time....
but this is the list of things likely to go out, pretty much in the order shown:
- a/c
- radiator/coolent system
- head gasket
thats about it, unless its not maintained/driven properly.
Check fluid levels and whatnot, make sure she's been changing that oil at the right times, things of the sort.
just take it to a certified honda mechanic (doesn't have to be a dealership) and have them check it out. $6k sounds reasonable.

i will take a look at it again when she gets home from work later...
