So I have an 87 cab plus and have an opprotunity to trade my (daily)civic for a 90 cab plus 2.2 fi. I went and looked at it and the guy tells me he has put all kind of parts on it and has an oil pump in a box to go with it! He didnt take thet time to install it when he put on new timing belt n water pump! Any how we both drove about 175 miles to meet! So the first thing I do when I see the truck is look under it. Its covered in oil! So I check the oil, nothing on the stick! So I told the guy I wasnt interested, as hes putting oil in it! So the front main seal had blown out and he drove for who knows how long! So I headed home! A week now later hes put oil pump in it and still wants to trade!!! I want anther cab plus for my daily but Im a little sckepticle of this one! These trucks are scarse around here so I kinda want it but it does have 250,000 miles on it! Should I go with it and take a chance or no???? My 87 blew out the main seal just like this when I was on my way back from KC and mine is ok!??!! He now tells me it runs fine as it always has n doesnt knock!! And he has had no issues with at all!!!

Your civic is worth way more than that truck.

I would keep the car you have.That truck clearly would be in need of a lot more work and money versus fixing the small items on your daily in the long term.
