#261093 I bought a 92 civic DX complete stock with some dents and rust around the back wheels and under the door handles. Drives perfect though with 181,000 miles. I bought this for $2,650. I just found the exact same dx but a 93 teal same color without any rust no dents full stock all around with 160,000 miles for $2,200. Should I go to the bank take out a loan and sell my car that I bought a little later on so it will be an even trade since I cannot do rust repairs and the shop said it would cost around $1,500 to have it done right.

#261100 If you can pay the payments of the loan i would say do it, but you would probably end up keeping both. One for track one for dd :thumb: . Well thats what i would do haha

#261111 Haha trust me I would keep both if I could afford it I am doing summer classes now in college with no job, just trying to get a clean stock hatch and add little mods along the way.

#261118 you can learn how to do rust repair. it really is a good thing to know. maybe some of your friends will need it done, then you could do it for them and make some tax-free, under the table money. it's not TOO hard. just read and read and practice and read.

who in there right mind is gonna pay almost 3k for a rusted dented hatch
nothing agist op, but people are over pricing 15-16yr old cars, 2650 is outragous i wouldnt pay that much for any civic eg unless is was bone stock and grage kept with less then 100k on it

I just bought my wife a '94 DX in mint cond with 160k for $2,000

I would sell the rusted one and buy the other but i doubt you'll be able to get what you paid for it.

#261348 Hmm well I would do the loan then buy the car and sell my old one since it would take at least a week to get the money for my car now, my body is not too rusted the least rust I have seen on a civic hatch in person here in Minnesota, no such thing as a mint clean civic unless stored in the winters.

#261381 I think that was a little too much for one with rust and 180k.
