any pics of it man ? if so get them up to have a look, have you viewed it ? sevice history ? bodywork condition..etc...etc...

[Jokeshopbeard]

As said above, you need a LOT more info than that before you can realistically evaluate a car. There could be any number of horrors lurking below such scant information.

1997 HONDA Civic 1.5i LS

[ek9ant]

if you can get service history on it then maybe go and look at it but definetley dont pay £1200 for it with that massive dent in the boot and the ammount of miles.

I think its overpriced for a car with over 100k miles on it and this age. Plus not easy to see but car does not look mint either.

rust on back arches realy and the tailgate is geting fixed today ! as it sed on the ad tailgate will be fixed before sale ! rusty back arches arnt a problem i will be geting a respray anyway after i get a front and back lips just to freshin up the car ! what if i got price down to 1000 ?

[Jokeshopbeard]

rust on rear arches? Steer clear man, find one thats rot free.

You don't know how well its gonna be repaired - if its any deeper than surface rust, then the sections with rot will need to be cut out and new metal welded into place. Anyone selling a car will not want to pay out the amount this will cost. If the problem is not fixed properly, then that rust will come back through very shortly.

Just hold on, be patient and keep searching. One will come up at the right price in the right condition - just keep checking places like gumtree, autotrader, ebay & pistonheads everyday and don't rush into it!!

No, don't buy it.
