So Close

XTension · 07-30-2008, 10:35 PM

To buying an '00 Xtreme from this place in St. Catherines. 162,000 km and this guy was a supposed "electrical engineer" he hooked up inverter plugs where the tape deck was supposed to be, broken 3rd door handle, burning wire smell, broken A/C, broken tonneau cover piston, brakes were near shot and the steering was wonky. They wanted $8495 for it, wouldn't budge on price.

Now it seems i'll never get one again, until I can afford to buy a private sale as a fun toy

Seems high for that amount of damage/work that needs to be fixed and that many KM, I've seen many s-series for that much with less km.

I have an 03 extended cab xtreme, 4.3 with a 5 speed that will be for sale in a month. Looking for about $7000 when it goes up for sale. No rust, from Pensilvania, Truck is mint but has a rebuilt title. Let me know if your interested.

Unfortunately after I got home from looking at it I came to realize the only reason I want one is because I want to replace my old one. I miss it so much it's ridiculous. But as gas prices are the way they are right now I can't afford a dime on my salary. My buddies selling me this really nice Civic, check it out

I have an I4 Colorado Xtreme. I get between 600 and 800km a tank. 64 litre tank, and I run 94 octane. I own/do HPTuners so I have also tweaked it some.

A stock I4 isn't gutless, but with the right mods, you can surpass some I5's.

If you want to retain the truck lifestyle, I say go for it.

ya gotta do whatcha gotta do man....To me getting ahead in life and saving some money for the future so when I do get my life sorted I can have the things i am gunna want is more important that driving a nice car(or truck). That civic looks pretty clean, so if your buddies giving you a good price on it I'd say go for it.....you'll have plenty of time to get a truck later on.
