sweet yea i am looking for an ex a whole bunch of new for sale ones popped up yesterday sent out like 6 emails on 6 different EX's. I have seen a few 04-05 ex's for under 7k with less than 90k miles on em i just need them to reply and we will see

 

[civic209]

alright guys i went into town and i saw an 04 ex for sale for 8995(9500) after taxes and it had 104k miles on it
what do you guys think? good buy or no deal? it was very clean has a few scratches here and there though..

 

[R3dline]

not being a d**k, but i cant stand 7th gens, i HATED my es1, i couldnt stand to even drive around town in it. why does it have to be a 7th gen?

 

[civic209]

hmm...well guess it doesnt have to be a 7th gen but i already have a 6th gen kinda tired of working on 6th gens right now i want something new to work with

04 EX 127hp
04 DX-VP 115 hp
and this off the factory floor then take into account the added weight of the ex's added features its got vtec but whoopty do. your getting a automatic its going to be slow no matter what model you get.

i do it for the sunroof

[Ace92028]

well, i thought you were trying to get a civic for around 6000? so the 9500 dollar civic is out of your price range? and i wouldnt pay that much for it, id pay maybe around 8500 after all taxes

 

[Ace92028]

Oh yeah, and make sure it has timing belt/water pump replaced because thats going to cost you a good 500 bucks

 

[vjf915]

I certainly wouldnt pay that much either. I understand an automatic is going to cost slightly more than a 5spd, but my 03 (1 year older) had about the same mileage and a couple scratches as well.....and I paid 6k no taxes because it was private party. Look for private party....you will pay less and can say you paid less when you register it....pay next to nothing in taxes. I wrote down that I paid something like 1k for my car. If they ask why so cheap, tell them it doesnt have an engine, or you bought it from a friend who owed you money.

 

[lowlife9]

i paid $3,000 cash for my 04 VP 3 years back good condition with 90,000 miles on it. granted i was working for a toyota dealer.

 

[civic209]

yea i figured i can get financed or something for the extra 3k
but ok yea i guess it is too much :/ i think i have to stop being picky and go with a vp or lx huh....
because i still have yet to find a decently priced ex with under 100k miles thats not more than 100 miles from where i live
there was an 02 ex for sale, silver but it had 130 k miles on it...

 

[vjf915]

Damn I guess they are a little more expensive out there. I guess just keep looking dude.

 

[Ace92028]

Where you live in California? i live in SD, and your not going to get a decent civic under 6000k here

 

[civic209]

yea i live in california. i mean if i could find a silver one like yours maybe an 03 with less than 100k miles on it under7k id go for it but damn theyre just not out there at the moment :/

 

[Ace92028]

yeah it took me about half a year to find this one...cause i wanted side air bags

 

[Motaw]

ah i agree. almost 10 g's is alot of money, i payed 6k for mine with 102k

 

[civic209]

guess ill have to wait and see if a good one comes along hope the boss doesnt mind if i mod it when i do get it though

that 04 black ex looked so sweet...i cant wait to get me one



damn if only it was a 2dr ...
