10 Grand??!!! What the heck needed to be done to it to cost that much? I don't believe that...what did you do get 3 new transmissions put in that beast?

That car in the pictures definately will cost 2-3k just to get it looking and operating good. Silverspear is right. I bought my car in fairly better shape, but cost me nearly 2000 just to fix all oil leeks, abs, exhaust, and some electrical odds and ends.

Thats what I paid for mine in August!!!!

Same color, same everything. 30k less miles, but the body was in about that shape. Now I have a couple more.

Good Luck. and get out of that Civic! lol.
