Just bought a 96 coupe 5 speed. 95k miles, interior is pretty clean. Will post pics soon. $3200...what do u guys think?? Oh it came with an extra set of wheels also, which have pretty good tread life left.

Its got some issues but nothing major from what I could tell. The biggest thing is that there is really really bad shuddering from the clutch when starting from a stand still. Goes through the rest of the gears just fine.

Anyway, I've been on craigslist for a while looking for a car and just glad to finally get one. Already got a new radio with the harness already on ready to be installed tomorrow morning hopefully.

Well from what I had been seeing on craigslist for like a month it seemed like a really good deal so I didn't want to miss out on it. I had missed a good deal on a 98 civic a week before that lol. Plus I figured the worst case would be me having the clutch re-installed (guy said he had just put in a new clutch). Also, cars without rust are hard to find here in Chicago.
