It may be different outside the GVRD and Okanagan, where people actually own stuff instead of just financing absolutely everything they "own"

- Radiator upper and lower hoses due for replacement

- Rear brakes pads are low and rotors done
- Oil leaks from valve cover gasket, oil pan and rear main seal
So... yah... ouch... needs a good $2,000+ of work

$40 - Engine air filter
$20 - Brake fluid flush
$60 - Drive belts due for replacement
$300 (belt and waterpump) - He says he thinks the timing belt was done at 96,000 or so but not sure
$120 - Radiator upper and lower hoses due for replacement
$160 - Tune up (distibutor cap, spark plug wires, fuel filter)
$120 - Front brakes pads are low and rotors rusted
$120 - Rear brakes pads are low and rotors done
$100 - Oil leaks from valve cover gasket, oil pan and rear main seal
$1000 worth of parts if you buy brand new stuff. Find a car being parted out or a junkyard car and that $1000 can easily turn into $300 (assuming you buy a new timing belt for around $80)
For someone with some space and tools its all very easy stuff to do. It is an old Honda after all. I don't think people are buying these thinking they won't require some love. If they are then I think they are making a poor decision. You shouldn't be buying an older Honda with no idea how to work on them.
I do agree with you though, it isn't a great deal at $2500 with that shopping list of work required. Odometer also looks tampered with.

Luckily the SIR is easy to work on.
If buddy paid me with a case of beer I’d do the brake job. It’s quite easy (god forbid if bolts are not seized)

Odometer also looks tampered with. | rear main seal requires removal of transmission. pretty sure some average average home hobby mechanic isn't used to doing those let alone know how to remove the old seal and installing new one without fucking it up.
And why would you get these parts from ajunkyard? These are all wear items listed that need to be replaced, would highly suggest against getting some random used parts.

Rear emblems seems to be in the wrong place, possibly rear ended?

By the time you do all the repairs and after the bidding war you could have bought the blue sir on the island for 5500 with 177,000 kms. And that one looks to be in good shape.

There are no special tools required for any of that work. Legit a parking stall would work assuming you don't get in trouble for working on a car.
Edit* read through the rest of the replies, lmao. Am I on a car forum with people who actually work on their cars or am I on a forum of people who just buy them? Quote:

It does require it to be removed and it is actually an extremely easy process. Again, you can pop a transmission off of one of these in under an hour with basic tools. Even if you just have a general idea on how to work on cars they can be done in an afternoon. If you read what I posted, if you wanted to be super cheap you can go to a junkyard and fix these issues. If you have ever been to a junkyard you can score wear and tear items in like new condition for next to nothing.
And just to be super clear, I'm not arguing that it is a great deal. It does have a shopping list and is NOT a great deal at the price. I'm just stating that a car enthusiast with some basic knowledge on how to work on a car, with a basic tool set and some space to work on a car can complete all of this work for very little or somewhere in the middle. That is all depending if they want new parts or to have it done with a trip to the junkyard.

I think you're on a car forum full of people who live in the lower mainland = people who live in townhouses and condos = people who don't have space to work on their cars.
I built my 1968 Mustang from the ground up and there isn't a bolt I haven't turned on that car at my parents house, but those days are over in strata life yo... I rebuilt my carb last summer in the parkade and ended up with 3 complaints and a $200 fine just because of a tiny bit of gas smell when what was in the bowl unavoidably spilled out (I was prepared with a catch can for it... but you could smell gas).
Back to good buys, I'm thinking of going to check out the red SiR... I pointed out that the Civic emblem is in the wrong place and asked about accidents, he said there aren't any on record from ICBC but he did say the rear bumper is missing its VIN tag so its obviously been replaced... he's setting up a time on Saturday for multiple people to look at it so another potential auction situation.
