Send advice!!! Thinking about picking up this 99 GS as a daily/project. Is it worth it?
What’s up everyone, trying to get some opinions on this 1999 Integra GS hatchback. Context: this would be my 2nd car. To be completely honest I don't have much car experience, but I want a nice, fun car that I can daily but also slowly build and learn how to wrench on. For the build, I don't plan on doing any engine mods mostly just focusing on cosmetics and other basic things to make it look clean. The car has 186k miles on it. The seller has it listed for $5.5k (dropped from $7k) but there’s no way in hell I'm giving them the full 5.5 for it lol. Here are the problems they listed: • Check engine light is on (seller claims it's just "some random thing" they never fixed) • Driver side window has a broken switch • Driver side has no key lock, so you can only lock/unlock it with the key fob • It's on brand new coilovers, has aftermarket wheels, and a Type R wing. Paint looks kinda matte/faded though. Assuming the issues they listed are literally the only ones wrong with it, do you guys think this is a smart purchase? I definitely want a fun build but I still need to rely on it every day. Also, what do you think is a fair price to offer them considering it's an auto and needs some work? Let me know what you think, thanks!
