HELP!! It's been TOO LONG Civic-Eg... Need your advice...

- Mon Feb 11, 2013 5:44 am #326157 Alright so I haven't been on here in quite a while... :thumbdown:

I've been busy with work and personal things that have distracted me from visiting this site.

To my main request: There is a guy at my work selling his EG before he moves out of state. It is a CX model hatch, not sure about the year of it though. The guy says he wants $2,000 for it, but I am thinking I should offer $1,500 max because of the shape it's in. (cosmetic wise).

Here are two pics that I took of it:

As you can tell the whole front clip is faded and along the driver side fender to the quarter panel has dents which are hard to tell by the pics but believe me they aren't just little door dings. Engine wise, it's the stock B8 with 131,000 on it. He says he averages around 39ish which sounds about right. The car runs fine and has leather interior...? I was sort of confused because I didn't know this model came with all leather interior. He said he didn't replace the interior so maybe the guy before him who owned it. Anyways, let me know what you guys think and what I should offer. KBB (Kelly Blue Book) lists this car at $1,700 in excellent condition)

as for the leather interior. Is it ripping on the seats? Must be a swap or uphol. And the spoon wing or fake?

I've seen some at the junkyard and was confused until I took a closer look at the material its like plastic leather, hence pleather. I would do $1500 nothing more, if you work your magic maybe get it for $1300 :hehe:

Have your mechanic or friend give you an estimated quote on paper and show him when you throw him a counter offer. That will more than likely get you the car, especially considering the only issues are cosmetic.

vx rims are pretty sweet tho :thumb:
