1992/1993 Honda Civic ESI - what problems?
-
most are going below $10k for COE 8/2011...
wondering if it's a good buy or does it have any known problems.

The usual issues lor, esi engine not as fierce, but i imagine there are ah bengs who would get one to trash, and the process probably repeats with a few owners, so there is much to go wrong, starting from the engine bay.
Someone i know went hunting for the eg models(mainly vti) sometime ago, most suffered from worn interior, usual stuff like worn rubber seals, one had a cracked dashboard, and another didn't even have the glove box.
Some of the cars are also "multi-colour" in less obvious and harder to paint areas(resprayed multiple times over different owners, accident-suspect??).
A few owners also claimed their cars had similar engine swaps to ones with less mileage, probably quite troublesome to check if it really happened etc.
Frame/chassis/suspension component wear is another issue, but never went that deep
.Depends on whether you want a beat up car to drive around or buy one to keep, mint units or at least those that haven't been through so much should be rare, but one or two might come around once in a blue moon.
