I am in the process of buying a 91 Acura Integra. I just got a new head but the clutch needs replacing, a vaccume hose needs replacing and there is water coming from under the car and soaking the back seats. Also the rear passenger door doesn’t latch properly and the sunroof is spidered
A mechanic just replaced the head for performance enhancing, I also have an engine inspection note form him dated two weeks ago and it is a well established mechanic who works for the insurance company

Nothing, you will spend more money fixing it than it will ever be worth.

They would have to give me money to take it.
A 19 year old car with multiple problems will just lead to more problems as time passes. Investing anything into this car would be a complete waste of money.
As it sits it’s probably worth about $600.00

No more than $500 anything more isn’t worth it cause you will spend a arm and leg trying to fix it…..and guess what? a guy tried to sell me a 94 acura that needed a water pump and some belts replaced a nice car but wasn’t worth paying what he wanted not to mention these are foreign cars sooooooo…….yea they aren’t easy to fix my bro’s a mechanic and has his own shop even he has to charge not the highest but a very reasonable price to fix these cars……well hope this help….

I’d pass on that deal. But if you want a figure, if it starts and runs without issues, and the tires are good, $500 or less. Really I’d offer scrap value if I wanted to mess with it, then you could at least get your money back. That would be more like $150.

A couple of hundred bucks. I’m assuming from your description that you have a new head, but it’s not installed yet? That means that you don’t even know if the motor is any good or not. If the head was cracked, there’s a good chance the block is too. Even if it was just warped, that’s usually a result of overheating, which could have damaged the rest of the motor.
The sunroof glass will be a small fortune too. Who the hell knows why the rear seats are getting wet.
Honestly, you should pass. You could get something else that at least is in usable condition for a grand or so. I only say a couple of hundred bucks for this car if you REALLY want it for some reason.
