i might either buy this acura integra or a 1993 mercedes 190E this summer. they want $2000 for this tricked out acura integra. the only problem with it is it needs new cv joints. and its on denvers craigslist.com this would be a sick ride to drive to school in!

[botrytis]

Tricked out means - HOT-RODDED and that may mean other things breaking. CV joints arent cheap either.

[Sandy G]

Yep, I'd say the Acura has been rode hard 'n' put up wet LOTSA times. It's prolly had a succession of teenaged Arsewhole owners who have abused the hell outta it, figuring they can simply flip it to the next punk who comes along...

[Sir.Byrd]

I wouldn't buy that.
I think you may be happier if you bought a car based on other factors besides looks and status. Fuel economy is one. As a student just how are you going to afford gas if the sweet car of your dreams gets 8 MPG?

[wajobu]

Probably NOT the Acura for you, unless you want to sink a few thousand more in for repairs.

Sorry.

[botrytis]

We all say pass on this one - if the CV's are bad what is going on with the bearings, exhaust, transmission - well you get the picture.

Stop looking at cute the inside and look at underneath.

Let's just get down to it. You'd be nuts to buy that car. :yes:

Let me guess, "The Fast and the Furious" is your all time favorite movie. Am I right?

Remember also that Acura's are made by Honda, and most, if not all, Honda engines must have the timing belt changed every 80-90K miles. So, if the mileage on the Intregra is getting close, that's another $650+ dollars you'll have to shell out on top of the CV joints. If you don't change the timing belt and it fails, you are looking at major valve/piston/engine damage and $$$$$ to get it fixed.

Anorther vote for a pass on the Integra.

Very good point. The timing belt on my wife's Integra years ago failed and it was a $2000+ fix. Luckily, I talked the dealer in picking up the cost.

I'd pass on THAT Acura....and I owned a 1990 Acura Integra GS.
BEST car I ever owned.....17 years and 225K of ownership....with NO problems.
Until some senile old crone WITHOUT a license, T-boned me by running a red light.
Try finding one at a decent price....if you can?
