drive it first then make your decision even if motor is fine still alot of wear and tear on suspension but for under 3k you can still find one with alot less miles good luck

+1 If you dont have the cash, stick with honda, thats my daily.

if you want that one, offer 1300 but since you have a $3k budget, look for something better.

yes, i am pretty sure it is.

i dunno, if the body is clean and you can get it for cheap, you can spend the extra grand on rehauling the entire suspension with new bushings and a starter set of coilovers.. or you could get an SC with less miles, but if youre like me youre eventually gonna swap everything out anyways.
for a 1992 with high mileage the most i would go for if it ran perfect would be like 1500
