Need Advice

First off, hello! This is my first post here at 7thgencivic...anyway, I just killed my '02 civic coupe, and am going to get a new one. I found one with ICW EXT Force 18's, P7000 super sport low profiles, the factory body kit (with the lil fins on the side), and a wing (i dont really like the wing too much, but i can deal). It has ~6000 miles, and is selling for 16450. This is cheaper than how much I paid for my new civic, so I was thinking it to be a decent deal. Please tell me what you guys think. I really wanted to build up the car on my own, but since it only has rims (which i like), there is still a lot of room for new stuff. Also, if it really matters, its got the side impact airbags. Here's a pic of it:



edit: the price is 16450...not 16540..

everyone bites off of Konig, look at the Konig Verdicts! I can look through one tuner magazine and spot 5 or 6 different companies sellin' the same rim, but under theit name, WTF!

For 16,500 or less?
91+ 240 SX
99+ GTI VR6
99-00 Si (hell ive seen dealer marked down 02 Sis for under 17)
91+ 300 ZX TT
94 MK IV Supra TT
FD RX7
94+ Mustang GT
94+ Z28
2nd Gen DSM or Talon (gst/gsx/TSi)
94+ GS-R
97-98 ITR (if you can find one)

or you can build an 11 second hybrid turbo hatch for that ammount including the car it self, but then you cant finance.

Im sure i can think of a lot more later, but im tired.. hence why i didnt correct the "nawz" guy in the other post.

Mex is a jewel in the roughMex is a jewel in the roughMex is a jewel in the rough
so what, there's:

ICW Racing EXT Force
Konig Toxxin
ADR Ryver
Nippon Racing Evolution

..they're all practically the same wheel.

almost every major brand makes a design that's very similar to others

the only car out of those i would really be interested in is the supra, but i really want a car w/ low mileage...and i doubt a supra for less than 16500 will have real low mileage. i could be wrong, of course. thanks for the input tho. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

edit: i do also like the 99-00 Si's, but the mileage is way to high for the price IMO...it is a sweet car tho.

you buy a new car, it loses 1/2 its value the second you drive it off the lot. and if its modified and used it should worth LESS. http://forums.clubsi.com/showflat.ph...c=1&PHPSESSID=

and how can you only be interested in the supra, out of all those cars.... if you are looking into buying a CIVIC?!

if you want low miled, id even get a '02 Sentra SE-R (Non Spec-V) w/ 5sp and no options over that. much more potential.

Woah Joe, back off the guy. People have different tastes in cars than you, its his choice not yours, let him be. Obviously he likes the 7th gen Civics, just how I am attached to mine and others are attached to thier own type of cars.

civicdude will become famous soon enough
I'll sell you mine for $16,500....lol. Seriously though....Is that car brand new? I know right now 2002 civic's are in clearance and the 02 ex coupe is going for around $14,995 with an automatic and no wing. If you can get that car for $16,000 with a body kit, spolier, and rims then I would go for it. Someone get Joe a cappacino.....Preferably decaf.
