Thoughts on this civic I found?

So I've been looking around for a car, and I came across this nice civic for a pretty decent price.

Heres a link to the ad:

Opinions?

Hmmm. 164,000 km wud be 102,000 Miles, Considering the Price and Mods, I wud say it's an okay deal not a Good One.

It's a 2000 Model, And it's Manual. I wud say $3,800 - 4000 wud be a good deal. First make sure it's never been into an accident!

K, thanks.
I'll be sure to check all those things out.

Anything I should check for in the engine?
I'm fairly new to civics (i'm a BMW guy), so any common parts that break or anything like that?

It's always best to take it to a Trusted Mechanic b4 buying it and do a Test Run. Civics are very reliable but at times pple tend to mess them up badly and later cover them up body kits, not only that many older civic owners likes to experiment on their Engines with Turbos Kits etc... so it's best if showned to a mechanic ahead of time. Always make sure to see if the Air Bags are properly installed & the accident history is cleared.
