Do you think this 2002 Honda Civic is worth fixing up?
I just came across this used 02 Honda Civic with a blown engine on Craigslist and wanted some opinions. My brother is a mechanic and could do an engine swap in a weekend which is why this one caught my eye in the first place.
The two doors on the driver's side don't seem to match so I'm guessing the back door as been replaced or repainted, but I could be wrong. So what do you guys think? Is it worth the $1,500 or so to fix it up? This would become my daily driver btw as my current Ford Ranger pick-up gets maybe 14-18 MPG. I'd really appreciate any feedback.

The engine is shot.body damage.cars done over 200,000 miles…14 years old… You are buying trouble
If you can get the car for close to scrap price and want to go through the effort then sure. If it is beat up and has loads of miles it is worth less than $2000 running and driving, so consider how valuable your time is and if it's a project you feel up to.
Thanks!
- Would I be able to trade in my 2009 Honda Civic for this 1998 Mustang Cobra? http://www.maximumautosearch.com/1998-Ford-Mustang-SVT-Cobra-Englewood-Colorado-80113/5205315 My dream car has been a Mustang Cobra, I bought the civic because I thought I was going to college but I was denied. Well now I have a really good job and I can afford to have this Cobra. Would I be able to trade it in even though I still owe money on the Civic?
- Ford mustang vs honda civic? Assuming that I maintain both cars equally, which one do you guys think will last the longest? I want a long lasting car.
- 2002 Honda Civic or 2002 Ford Mustang as first car? I'm debating on getting a Civic with nearly 30 mpg or a Mustang with nearly 20 mpg, and I also live in Indiana where we get around a foot of snow every year.
- How important is it to know the base model of a vehicle, like for example 2005 honda civic LX or DX? I'm not quite sure on the difference I mean if the Model is a sedan, how relevant would the Base Model be. LX or DX for honda civic 2005 for example. Or like for FORD Trucks LT XLT or XL
