Hi all. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to Civics but not cars. I am going to be looking at a 1997 Civic sedan 5-speed with a little over 200,000 miles that's in pretty good shape comestically. Is there anything specific about this generation Civic I need to look out for? I'm thinking more mechnically. Thanks in advance for your insight!

bad a/c, watch for the head gasket as any car, be careful when popping the door panels off they can break the little plastic clamps, and last but not least with a car of that age your probably going to get a problem with the a/c or the windows not being able to roll down. easy to fix if you have a mechanics manual and cheap if you got some good junkyards near by
