I'm looking at a car. A friend of mine said the BEST way to decide whether or not to get this car, is not to defend myself, just list out the specs, and see what a COMPLETELY unbiased person says (Seks, I better not see a reply in here from you *hahhahaha):
1995 Acura Integra LS
Body, Mint Condition
Engine, Mint Condition
Mileage 191k
Owner, seems normal enough
Mechanical Check: doing that on Tuesday to see what they have to say
Maintenance, immaculate
Owner, 2nd owner, originally car from BC.
Price: 10,900, maybe get it down to 10,500 hopefully because need to get an alarm and a couple other little minor things.
Is it worth my trouble? Or move onto another car? |

I like this part hahaha
Anyway, 191k is on the high side. Many mechanical stuffs would have to be changed shortly (like in 20-30k), things like, timing belt (again), water pump, fuel pump, oil pump, etc. Things might need to maintain if you want it to run in top shape, valve adjustment, spark plugs, coolant flush, transmission flush (AT or MT). Also look for if any rust underbody. Check for wrap brake discs, grinding shifts (if manual). Oh, for the ENGINE CONDITION, you can go do the COMPRESSION TEST, it's the only way you know exactly how it's doing inside, and you can get it done in any Crappy Tire for less then 100, for me, it's a must-do thing if buying used cars.
In the end, with the price of 10900, you probably can talk it down to 9000 or even lower if you have patient. Don't worry, there are plenty of teg out there. You can always have other choices, don't rush. I wish this can help, good luck |

| For what you said. I try to talk him down to about 8500 to 9 grand. That kinda high for a car at 191K for 10000 grand. Even for a LS model. But thats my 2 cents. But still its a good model. Try talking the guy down due to the fact you might be the third owner as well as the high milage. |

That's crazy high mileage.
I guess you could alwasy do a typeR swap or something. |

| Ya that's is very high milage for sure. I'm sure you'll notice many things needs to be changed or fixed very soon for that car. Definitely ask for a lower price. |

I would be crazy enough not to reply with my lame useless response haha...
Too much $ for a 191k car that's a 95. Move on to another car. |
