If someone can get a good clean 97-98 Civic in this price, then why isn't he/she buying? What is he/she doing in this thread?
Guys relax he's not pointing gun at someone to buy his car. If you want to buy then place your offer. If the seller find's it reasonable, you may have a deal.
If you think it's expensive, just close the thread and let the seller sale his car. Simple, isn't it? 
@ Mods, kindly remove non-selling related replies. Mine too if you find it irrelevant.
@ Poster it's my fav model. Best of luck with sale.
