Good price! I bought my 94 with 91k for 8750.

Here's what to check for!

Oil leaks
Radiator leaks (radiators prone to bust in Integras)
Sunroof operates
CV joints have no tears
Hatch aligned correctly (may hint to rear-end collision damage)
Any rattling noises while idling
Heat/AC function
All belts are intact and not torn or rotting

Keep in mind Integra's are due their "big" checkup at 90k. The timing belt should have been changed, water pump changed, radiator fluid changed, etc. If these things are not done, this can cost you.

Those are just a few things I can think of at the moment.

she is firm at 8400
but..
has receipts for belts and water pump change also fluid flush oil change break pads, wheel alignment at 90 k
clutch done at acura delaer when she bought it at 80k
everything works fine
the engine in my sisters 02 civic lx soudns louder
interior is very clean
a few scratches, no obvious body work
claims to have bought it from a 'friend' 10k ago

has aftermarket alarm system with keyless entry
she jsut put sony explode speakers front and back with a pioneer mp3 player
doesnt mean much to me being i got a full jl system waiting to go in but atlest the wiring will be paid for
my only hesitations is that kbb value for mileage was like 6800 but these things hold their value so ill be pickin my new baby up thurs
so hopefully the first htings i will be doing are jsut touch up stuff and adding my goodies i already have
anyhting else that you guys can think of that would be 'a good idea'to think about replacing..i already have a weekend trip planed for friday

also a commonly overlooked thing is the oilpan. two days after i bought my teg, i noticed the oilpan had a big leak in it. Also, have a mechanic take a look at it before you commit to buy it.

Yeah that seems high, but with the run-forever reputation these cars have, not much you can do about it.
