1500 is alot for a car that isnt safetied and needs some work. id consider looking at it first, but definetly get a buyers inspection done as it might not be road worthy ever again.

what is "safetied"?

[ghettogeddy]

what is "safetied"?

[ZackieDarko]

sounds like a piece of shit to me

a good condition SE-i would go for that much hell a good condition LX-i around here goes for that much

[Crazybird]

well how much would a full efi swap and manual tranny cost??

Think of an SE-i as an LX-i with leather, special tinted glass, a Bose stereo system, rear disk brakes, and a lot of other small things. The problem with the leather is that, unless the previous owners took care of it, by now it's probably dried out and cracked. The driver's seat is a given, but also the headrests in the rear get cracked. Fixing leather is *very* expensive (compared to the value of the car), and if it's going in one or two places besides the driver's seat, it's probably ready to go in others.

The glass is special bronze-tinted, not available in the aftermarket. Mother Honda has it, and usually has to be specially ordered, and you know what *that* means (my windshield was over $600).

If the rear speakers don't work, the Bose amp, mounted under the rear deck, is gone. It's a proprietary design, so only Bose can fix it.

The rear calipers tend to freeze up, which can be a pain, both financially and timewise, if you're fixing them yourself. To buy new ones is about $200 each from Honda, less of course from others if you can find them.

The rest of the car, with a few exceptions (radio controls on steering, body color on outside mirrors, diff sun visors, cupholders, etc) is regular LX-i. The good news is it's a fuelie, so no carb issues.

I think the leather better be super, the rear brakes unfrozen, the glass all there, the carpets good, the drivetrain in good shape, the bushings/ball joints not screwed, for that car to be $1,500.

it means exactly what it says a saftie gariteeds that that car is safe to drive. its a joke realy only need it to register the car under a new owner its good for a year once you got it don't need to ever get one inless it changes tittle to some one els thats not related to you...
has nothing to do with smog at all the rules change from province to province though and in manitoba the insurance is run by the province and they merged that with the drivers licning.... lol
