Sounds too good to be true. Does it have a clean title? The mileage is very low and it sounds like a steal. I would say it is worth it.

And it is Vtec not Vtech, btw.

Yes, go have a leak down test see how the owner took care of the engine.

Man if it has a clean title (i doubt it) this is one sexy buy.

I think that is just the lower part of the license plate holder. The price just sounds too good to be true considering I bought my 96 GSR with 107k miles on it for 6,400.

as i look at the pics, a few things seem off. the front bumper is a pre 98 model one. and the motor is a LS(non vtec), it would say on the valve cover if its VTEC. the rear bumper and tails do represent the 98 style though. the car looks clean though. if everything checks out, its not a bad car to get. check the VIn number. 10th character- Identifies the model year.
For example:1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y), 2001(1),
