I wonder if the timming belt was done? (90,000 Km) Bill.. proof?

87,000 Km on a 3 1/2 year old car.....kinda on the high side.

I would take it to a goog trustworthy mechanic, for them to take a GOOD look at it.

bal. of
fact. warr
Big deal if it expires at 100,000 Km's.

Exc. cond. Very well maint
WHERE was it maintained? Ie....down the street at a mom and pop garage, or at an Acura dealer?

Was it a leased vehicle? If so stay away, stay very far away!

Based on the price, I'm guessing its private or at least at an independant used car dealer. The price is very good for the year and mileage. The mileage is about right for that year. Have your mechanic check over the car before buying to make sure no accidents or mechanical problems. With that year and mileage, price would usually be $14,000+, so it is a good deal assuming the car is in proper working order.

I 2nd what EL_Sport said....
Good deal, but be sure to have the car checked out first. Ensure its a non-accident vehicle.

She already have a 5th Gen Si. She's looking for something slightly better but still affordable!

She was looking for a decent Del Sol, but I told her to forget it! Told her she could afford the car but not the insurance!

regards,

Mugen, you've seen my car right. It's a 98 Sedan, and it's very affordable. It's much cheaper than you'd get from a dealer.

Let me know if she's interested.

That's a pretty good price for a 99, but he can probably get something for the same price with less KM like this one

The E.L is a very nice car, wish I had the cash to afford one

yes, I've seen your car before, but as I said, she already has a Civic, so she's looking for something a bit nicer than Civic (1.6 EL in her case)as a 2nd car for her household.

My Blue Si, thanks for the info. I will let her know about that one!

regards,
