    Isn't that the car we just saw get the motor blown on the trailer??? LOL.. Yeah it seems like a pretty clean car I don't know what is up with the lights though. I would say try and talk him down to 1,000 Then go from there.

    $1200 is a bit expensive for a 3gee now days, but comming across a rust-less one is hard, if it's as clean as i think and has been looked after well 9sounds like it has) i think it would prolly be worth it

    and to the site

    By the way, my first DIY plans for the car ( if ever bought) would be:

    -Spray on tints
    -Spray on clear red for tailights ( cover the orange)
    - Paint the bumpers same color as the car

    Thats a clean car, but you said the car has no rust, and the car definitely has rust. I can see it on both sides, where the typical honda rust is. Its more noticeable on the drivers side. Look closely and you will see it.

    that thing is clean for a 86.....at least get him down to 1000. you might want to get a fuel injected 5 speed car...from the 88-89 model since they have the more support

    Yeah it's not rust free. Look at the back of the rear wheel wells. The typical Honda rust is there. I mean it's not structural, but it's there, and it's not cheap to have fixed. I woudln't pay $1200 for it. It's a shame because the rest of the car looks so damn nice. It was obviously well taken care of.
