yes you definatley did get ripped off. I bought mine for 300 it wasnt running, and I put a good 500 into it and it ran for a good 4 months. Then the engine blew, and now I have a civic :\ , but I have my reasons, first off the civic is from my brothers friend who is a mechanic(reason this is abonus is becasue I can do payments (Idont have enough money for a reliable car so payments are good) and if stuff goes wrong with the car it will be free or cheap to repair (first day alternator broke, second day I had a new on bought and installed free of charge.)
Im looking to buy another 240 around this time next year so I can get it ready for taht following summer, but as of now I have an extremely clean civic ex coupe with all power and sun/moonroof, so that will do for this summer (only performance upgrades for this baby, no gay wings, or side skirts, not even rims. this ones gonna be my sleeper beast

)
