Default 1992 Integra GS?

I found a 1992 Integra GS with 71k miles, its black, 5 spd transmission, leather interior, sunroof, p/w p/l. its at a small dealer, he is asking 5600 for it.. is it worth this much?
i know that is really low mileage, and i want to get it, but i wanna make sure im not getting screwed.

thaT is low mileage for a 92..dam.. but i dunno, if you really want it , get the motor checked out....take it to a mechanic and make sure everything is in line....and use carfax also, thats about the best you can do to make sure you dont get screwed out of the deal

9,250 seems like alot to me, but whatever floats ur boat

:thumbup: good deal!

(if it is in good mechanical order)

2.5 years ago i gave $3000 for a 91' gs that had 130,000 miles. Since i have put in about $1900 worth of parts and labor and it has lasted to 273,000 miles(and still going). i wont say you will have my luck, but most of these cars are VERY durable.

at this rate, low mileage may be a liability. you want a car that's been driven so that the engine gets a workout. like a previous poster said, just get a honda trained mechanic to look at it and make sure it's in good shape where it counts.

and, even though you haven't yet reached the 90K miles mark, I'd change the timing belt as soon as you get it (esp if it is the original, 12 yr old timing belt). plan on that alone costing around $500.

um, no.


I was in the same situation ~1.5 years ago. 1992 GS, Blk, lthr, 5 spd, 74k miles, etc.


I ended up paying 7 grand for it, but this was because the economy was doing well and almost all other tegs at the time were 5-6k.

My car has been a gem, I say you go for it.
