Perfect condition

what model is it? If it's a VTEC I'd say that's great, for SI it's still pretty good, for and S, well, I wouldn't get one of those.

Thats pretty good for a Si, and great for a VTEC.

97blacklude · 08-17-2002, 02:31 PM

It's an Si 2.3 16 DOHC

still good?

I'd have it checked out by a mechanic and if it passes, I'd say go for it. Usually they go for around 5-6g's for that mileage.

if you're planning on doing a motor swap go for an s with mint inside
otherwise i'd grab that if you are still planning on doing the motor swap...

yea i will..........it drove great and there were no weird noises either.........damn i'm tempted..........white too

I think it's a pretty good price. And VTEC didn't come in 92 guys, only 93 and up.

So, are you selling the 5th, or gaining a Lude?

car fax is not that reliable, they only have records that's been reported, so if someone screwed up the car but didn't report it, they won't know, go to a mechanic is a better idea

I would have a mechanic check it out. I got my 92 SI with 149k for 4300. Good interior, good exterior (when I bought it).

IMO that sounds like a perfect canidate for the H22 swap

Si4WS · 08-17-2002, 06:33 PM

Sounds like a better canidate for FMAX, got a lot of boost???

high milage + boost = short engine life

Go for the car sounds like a good deal if it checks out.

ar5enal · 08-17-2002, 10:29 PM

Is it the 4ws model?

cantdrive55 · 08-17-2002, 10:44 PM

Awesome price, have it checked out, and buy it if it comes back good.

Brady92/4WS · 08-18-2002, 12:18 AM

i dont know i got my 92 4ws with 108000 miles for $4000 asking $5000, you should bargain them down a little offer 3500 or so.

My mistake, I thought for some reason it had low miles, not the 127K, still a good price though. Do a compression check though.

Maybe, but doesn't the s also come with less of other stuff, like hubcaps, not wheels, no a/c, no (front?) spoiler, ABS, and things like that?
