I am in the process of purchasing this car for winter driving. I am trying to haggle the price but I believe that the person is asking a little bit much for this car.
I mean I don't want to lowball because this person is a good friend but at the same time I want to be honest and offer at least a reasonable price. Any help will be appreciated!
It is a 1988 Honda Civic hatchback, it has 245,000KM on it. Here are my observations:
The good:
-clutch replaced at 180,000KM
-drives straight
-idle is good, engine sounds healthy
-heater very hot
-lady driven
-no accident
-should be excellent on gas
The bad:
-Super rust everywhere
-driver side headlight water damaged
-tail lights water damaged
-driver seat extremely ripped (seatbelts too)
-engine block coked with oil (could be vc gasket or worse)
-windshield crack in the middle
-timing belt never been done
-battery dead
-no stereo
-passenger side key not working (broken in before)
-driver side rear bumper falling off
-passenger side axle shot
-setting #1 on the fan does not work, 2-4 are fine
