By the way, CSA, the guy called me up today morning and told me that someone bought his 1998 Civic for the full asking price of 2200$.  
Thanks for all the help. There were two cars that came up today on craigslist, a Honda Prelude 1992 with a new motor with 123K miles on it. I spoke to the owner, who was a student and thus I decided to forego the Prelude. (Young drunk and full of cum translates to a troublesome vehicle)  
Second is a one owner Civic Manual 2001 with 165K. Timing belt, water pump changed, and clutch replaced recently. Asking for 3K. I think thats an okay price. Question is…is it near throwaway category or not…and I shall find that out on Saturday.  
Acura Rsx s are also good, but they get stolen. If a buy one, I’ll likely put 3 clubs and a kill switch in it. Civic Si’s strangely seem to always have a clutch issue. Both the Si’s that I drove, had that notchy, weird clutch shifter.  
Cheers,  
HR
