which cb7 would you take!

[1lowcb7]

All right here we go i been looking for a cb7 for three weeks. This is what i found two that i like the problem is that one has alot of miles and the other has slightly bad body nothing to major. The first on is a 1991 for $2,000 it has 226,372 the guy says they are highway miles. On a scale of 1 to 10 the 1 being bad an 10 being good the body is a easy 8 1/2 no dents very very little scratches the interior is like a 7 not to bad it's a five speed no knocks or smoke when i started it. An the other is a 1990 for 2,700 with 150,427 the body is a 4 it has rust not to bad the clear coat is coming off and it has dings all over. The interior is a 6 no that bad it's a five speed to no knocks or smoke either. Which would you pick the one for 2,700 they wont go down on there price either

IMO take the high mileage one. If the motor sounds good, the oil looks okay, it runs and shifts good with a clean body and a decent interior? It's probably a pretty good indicator that the car was taken care of. The other one sounds like it's in worse condition, which would lead me to believe it hasn't been maintained well.

plus with a good body say the motor is bad after awhile f22 are not hard to find lol

my car has 216k and i'm boosting it.these engines last forever if you treat them right..definitly take the higher milage.

[1lowcb7]

the 1990 the bad body one is at a car lot an the high mileage one is an older couple about late 40's

I sold cars for a while IMO I would test drive both. And if it came down to it take the one with the better body. Rust is cancer and causes you to have to put money in the body.

It is way cheaper to replace an engine in a CB than to have quality body and paint done.

[Chicano2005]

i wouldn't take either one. they are asking way too much for an 18 year old car. I wouldnt pay more than 1500 dollars. I dont care for milage, like JDMChristian said

mine got 198xx. This guy was asking 1750 for a 90/91 and i said no. it wasnt the price it was because i didnt wanted an automatic.

boooom

[Lil' Whitie]

high milage here bro.

heck if i find a cb with no rust clean body and interior looks and runs good and drives good but have 500,000 miles on it i'd still take it lol.

[sxyhnda]

yea but you never know for sure if the engine was taken care of.... i bought mine wit 169xxx miles on it, ran perfect, no noises or anything... within 500 miles the motor was blown. snapped cam shaft.... no matter how good of an engine it is or wat you can never be for sure wit used cars....

[1lowcb7]

I hear that but the more i think about it i think im going to have to go with the high mileage i could get a motor cheaper then a good body repair. Thanks for all the replys!!

[blizzard335]

i'm in with the higher mileage CB7

good luck with the purchase

especially since the higher mileage one is owned by an older couple (40's). that tells you they haven't tried racing it or doing any mods either. plus the a/c probably still works !
you have a beautiful blank canvas to start off with

plus you can find out more of the history of the car and get receipts for any major work done.

I'd take the good body and swap the motor eventually
