EP3's arent worth that much.. good cars though.

this one isnt worth repairing.

car wont drive the same. now if it was a clean shell with no motor.. then sure, buy it.

Not worth fixing. There is not a chance that can be repaired within $6k unless you're doing all the work yourself. If you're paying a bodyshop, it's going to be at least a $13k+ bill.

My guess is someone is selling this car for $2000 or less and if he spends $6000 to repair it, then he will have a EP3 civic for $8000 or less.

Currently, CL has an 04 EP3 civic with 62K asking for $12,900 and I bet this guy thinks this 03 with 48K km's can fetch that much $$$ if he buys it and rebuilds it to resell.
you should be able to get a clean EP3 (earlier years) for sub 10k in good condition... buddy of mine got rid of his for $7k... scary how little they're worth..

I'd say part out whatever you can and buy another EP3 or newer gen si.

Thats a bit expensive considering you could get a EM2 shell for 2k.

unless you can do most of the repairs yourself, dont bother.. shops will charge you up the ass

The amount of money being spent fixing it could get you a non damaged one, i saw one late last month with 80k 03 no accidents on CL going for 7200 I believe? And that SiR in the pics looks like it has some bad structural damage, wouldn't drive straight even after being fixed/more potential for rust and etc.. later in the life of the repair and the quality of repair greatly affects that as well

356K on the chassis though

My old del sol had that much mileage on the chassis.

EDIT: Buy my EP3, it's hella JDM :troll:
