Should I buy this?

Need your guys' input.

Basically, should I buy this?

there are two things that draw me away from this car...the theft recovery for the title, and because it was stolen, was it stripped? i just got off the phone with the guy, he said it wasn't...

what do you think?

ya this gen civics are too easy to steal.. looks like a nice car, but hard to tell until you see in person and drive granted you have mechanical knowledge. if not make sure you get it checked out by a mechanic. personally, i love this body style (i like coupes more but these are nice too and many like these more) and my 94 as many other people i know with this gen are very happy with a good dependable car, gas mileage, and cheap repair costs generally. with it being stolen and "everything repaired" i figure they would show some interior pics though.. kbb says this about the car, http://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/1995-...=private-party WITH 160000 miles, it probably has more.. imo, even with the "racing rims" lol, i would say that's probably a 1200-1600 TOPS car because of "mileage unknown" and the threft recovery junk.. although some may2 pay more, this body style is getting really hard to find these days though, i think a lot of people want a car like this. good luck and make sure it's a good car before you buy it; any lemon i've ever had is sour. also be careful with craigslist.. a lotta shady people on that ****

Re: Should I buy this?

Also, how bout these two?

These are being sold by the same guy, apparently he has a business selling hatches..nonetheless, these titles are said to be clean. The cars look good as well, and I plan to check them out later this week. As far as price goes, I was thinking maybe 2500 for the green (131k miles) and probably the same for the red (133k miles).

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks
