Thank you Daniyal for your wishes. I wish I knew more about cars and I would've written all the faults it may have. 10-20k in the longer run don't matter much. Truth does.
UIV - Yep, that was the civic I was initially considering. But I understand the dude, if he wants money, he wouldn't want to go into the trouble of exchanging, and then start over his sale process again.
Yesterday I met a guy with a black 99 vti oriel though. I kinda liked his car. Hopefully we'll strike an exchange deal. He turned out to be the son of a person I knew in Moscow. This is such a small world!
