Thoughts on this Civic for sale?

I previously drove a 7th gen (EM2) but it's broken down right now and I've been considering getting rid of it and grabbing a slick 6th gen. Been looking for a while and finally found one I like. I'm not too familiar with 6th-gen Civics (or really cars in general) so I'd very appreciative if someone here could let me know if this is a decent buy/what to offer for it, also any things I should look out for! Thanks!!

This is the listing:

Price: 4,200 OBO

Honda Civic Ek 2000
Type R swap (B18c)
Matching type R transmission
Clutch has been replaced
Flywheel has been replaced
Jasma mugen headers
255 fuel pump
Full wire tuck with battery relocated
Slotted rotors on the front
All around camber kits
Coilovers
NO A/C or P/S
Full type R swap with 0 issues at all
No issues at all
4,200 obo

edit: no lie, looks pretty clean. Do you know what clutch/flywheel installed?

edit 2: how many miles on the chassis/engine?

Re: Thoughts on this Civic for sale?

Periodically, a few new members appear having just gotten a “steal” on someone else’s project.

I haven’t seen one that hasn’t had issues with it. If you aren’t familiar with cars, I wouldn’t suggest you buy something like this.

6th gens are great cars. Not sure where you are geographically, but EM1’s are awesome (B16) and it *should* run you less than this.

No to both questions, on the listing, it *says* 130k miles, but I will ask him, just to be sure.

Yeah that's part of the reason I wanted other opinions before I just jumped into this. But (surprisingly) I barely see any 6th gen coupes this clean for sale. I mostly see beat up sedans.

I'm in Dallas, TX and I've been checking all the car selling places (sites) I know for about 6 or so months and I've yet to see an EM1, which I'd LOVE to pick up.

Yup, I'm torn on this.

EDIT: he responded pretty quick, he says:

"100k on engine and 170 chassis ..: and i cant remember witch one [regarding the clutch/flywheel] my friend put on it when we did the swap... is a good one tho u can definitely feel the power and all man

A little under 100k on engine

Super healthy and strong

With 0 issues

Pulls really nice"
