do you all think its not a good deal due to the price, or more of the fact that the timing belt snapped? What I mean is, if he was to come down a good bit, would you still run away from it due to the head issue?

 

the money thing does play a big factor but the fact that the belt snapped is what wouldv'e made me ask alot more questions/walk away/ ask for a whole lot cheaper price

 

I know how it is..when you are anxious to get your hands on something you want you might tend to get a little impatient and settle for something you might regret later. I'd just be patient, something good will come your way and you'll be glad you didn't rush it. What is your price limit?

 

Like I said in my first post...
if the previous owner ignored the timing belt, what other parts were "ignored"?

There are a lot of people that run their cars "into the ground" out of laziness or ignorance.

So if you're buying used, you need to be particularly suspicious of cars like this one. Search for cars where the previous owner was careful and meticulous about maintenance and appearance.

A car with a sound body and motor backed up with thorough maintenance records will be a better investment than one which already shows evidence of neglect.

 

well, it seems with unanimous decision that this is not a good car to buy. I will keep my eyes open for other options. Thanks for your help. You probably saved me thousands.

 

 

try www.cars.com and your local newspaper, I would skip that other car and keep looking, I purchased my Integra brand new so didn't have to worry about looking for one but when I purchased my Accord I was looking for a couple of months until I found the one that was perfect for me clean, low mileage and certified used and the color I wanted. Good luck keep us informed.
