should i get a 3rd 3g??

[labeledsk8r]

Well i need input guys. after semi-lurking on here for a while again i have grown to miss the feel of a 3g. as some of you might know i sold my 2nd accord to vanillasky back when it was haveing problems and i could not afford to resolve them. anyways on topic, now that it seems like more items are getting made (i know theres still effort/extra money/chance) in getting some of these parts but its much better then it used to be it seems. more and more people have found ways to mod and addapt other parts aswell.

i know some people will say well mayby its time to try something else... and i agree that mayby i should.. just scared ima buy something then hate it.. im not a big fan of buying and selling alot so id like the buy to stick and me be happy with it. also i drive my GF's 2000 civic alot and she is slowly modding it and its fun to drive and all .. just doesnt feel the same as either of my accords were.


Now that i have fixed some things going on (just moved into a nice to apartment on the 16th) and i have a second vehicle (50cc scooter) even though its riped apart with a blown headgasket right now. id like to start looking into another car

so yeah i will add to it later but i want to hear some input

also for the people that dont remeber my cars or the noobs that seem to be poping up everyware heres links to my old cars

they are reliable, affordable and you know how to work on them.
So I say yes

Make sure you are ready for worst case scenerio, have a place and means to do work on it, and get exactly what you want and see yourself in on the other side of it.

I still need to get the one I bought from you fixed. Finally coming around from money being tight, but I should have it fixed sometime soon. The Camaro is about to die, so we need something while I find the wife a car.

I have been looking for another good running 3gee myself. Something for the wife. I can't find any nice ones around here. There's one that keeps getting posted in Mt Dora, but it looks like a pile. I'm sure you might be able to find one in Tampa or Orlando, but I haven't been able to find one in the Jacksonville, Ocala, Gainesville, St. Augustine, Daytona Beach or Space Coast Cragislist pages.

yeah i have been just searching around seeing what pops up and i havent seen anything to even consider. i dont have the money yet for it (well i have some since taxs are comeing) but i figure while i make up my mind if i want a 3rd 3g i better keep an eye out for one

[Vanilla Sky]

Third time's the charm, that's what I'm expecting. I've had 2 that were meant to be drivers, and the new one is in nice shape. The small things are small things, not really things that will keep it from driving.

[A18A]

Yes

[Hauntd ca3]

x2
you NEED another 3g

[Rendon LX-i]

x4 man you NEEd a another 3gee.

[lx-i coupe]

i'm looking at getting another one. traded my coupe for a set of snap on tool boxes.....my wife still thinks i'm an idiot... (do kind of regret it). her sentra's about ready to shit the bed, and i would really like out of a car payment.

[labeledsk8r]

bumb got nocked down after the hack. im still conisdering it.. i just know ima have to change almost all of the oil seals (the florida heat seems to make them leak faster) . and i just havent seen anytihng worth even considering

[3gmodifier]

hey labledsk8r, if u r willing to just buy new bumpers and a paint job, i still have my fully shaved sedan up for sale. tons of mods. to much to list right now but find my thread. i would love to sell her to a fellow 3geezer if you know what i mean. i know you will take care of her.

p.s. i am more than willing to cut down the price knowing that it will be going to someone who will appreciate it

only problem is im in florida lol you do have a great car for sale, just dunno if i can ever own a sedan again much rather a coupe or hatch, but trust me your car is worth the price your selling it for for the amount of work into it.. im shocked you havent sold it yet? u should bump that thread

Go for it dude! A couple months ago there were quite a few 3geez on CL within 60 miles of here. Im always looking aswell but i dont really plan on getting another 3g for a while. I will keep an eye out around town and let ya know if i find one.

I seem to have misplaced my flame suit...so I keep quiet

As soon as I get mine up and running, that's another place you could work on your car. It's over an hour away, but the offer is there.

Someone needs to call me at like 7:00 in the AM to tell me to remember to get the seals for my transmission. They're a special order part, and I just haven't made the effort to grab them.

[2oodoor]

draw something on your wrist with a sharpie, works for me ( only if I remember what it was I was supposed to remember)

I already posted here to reply to FP, but to add to that comment sk8r you had a newer car also ... so was it indeed better.?.. meh I thought so so

[Vanilla Sky]

Wouldn't work where I work.

this might happen sooner then i thought if i cant get my scoot running again

[SZfiftyfour]

Found one, I seen it on my way home today. I even stopped to look at it= 88-89, but auto & LX & they're asking 1900<--. But the paint is real nice with no fading, i didnt see any rust, the interior is mint from what i seen. Its Maroon-ish in/out (Same color as GraniteLXi's car: https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=63010 ), No dents or noticeable scratches. Its got a nice set of aftermarket wheels and tires (Konig & maybe 17"?) in good 'sellable' condition. Thats probably a $1200 set new.
As you can tell i didn't stick around long. Its at a garage/cash dealer on 441-northbound, between Big sun salvage and 91st.

edit: sorry. Meant to add, its a 4 door

hmm lol its a sedan isnt it lol, i know the place your talking about they had a DX coupe out there a year or so ago and wanted over 3 grand for it LOL. thanks for looking out man, i might go look at it on my next day off 1.9k is a bit much for me to deal with carbs again, time will tell . thanks again

[SZfiftyfour]

lol yea sedan. i must have edited while you were typing.

[labeledsk8r]

lol yea sedan. i must have edited while you were typing.

lol yeah, i still might go check it out and see if i can talk him down, if i can get the price right i might consider, just really do want a coupe

[SZfiftyfour]

If you can get em down to like 1500 it may be a good deal as long as its mechanically sound. Then you could sell the ricer wheels/tires for 600ish. Pop on the fat fives and you're golden. But im like you, auto+LX is a big deterrant.
