99 Si ?'s

blcoonrod · 04-01-2009

This is my first post here, so sorry for any already answered questions there have been. Couldn't get search to work for me.

I am looking into buying a Si. I had a 97 LX that was stole, and recovered totaled. So now I am looking to upgrade from it.

Is there anything I need to look out for on these models, that I can visually check before buying? What kind of MPG do yall get? I am guessing they are just as reliable as my old LX? I know I will have to replace the timing belt and other general wear parts.
Also what would be a good price on a 99 with say 75 to 100k miles?

I may be a little old for my time, but I think $4000 for a 2000 SI is really cheap. Maybe there was damage to the car, or it had a salvaged title?

Thanks, I am also looking at a 99 for $7250. Along with the newer 07 that you replied to my post in the 8th gen section.

Here is the link to the 99. What do yall think?

those headlights are terrible lol. but other than that its tastfully modded i guess. i tend to stay away from modded cars tho cause you never know what they did to it and if it was raced and abused.

Yea I know what ya mean by buying a modded car. The headlights are ok but the ricey tow hook on the back would have to used a trot line weight!
