Produced between 1985 and 2006, the Acura Integra is nothing less and nothing more than the typical Honda Civic with different badges and a different body shell. Nonetheless, this one is a little bit special.
By special, I am referring to special needs. Just look at it! Look at it! This horrible mashup between an Acura and a BMW gives me the impression that the car sucks on a lemon on a daily basis. I have this feeling the owner will have a hard time selling this load of junk.
Reddit user i_seen spotted the car listed on Craigslist New Orleans for $3,800. The 1998 Acura Integra with 2006 BMW 5 Series bits and bobs shows 75,000 miles on the clock. Across the pond, that mileage converts to 120,700 kilometers. Enthusiasts will be thrilled to find out that the 1.8-liter engine drives the front wheels via a 5-speed manual.
More sensible people will appreciate that the air conditioning works, as does the heater and the sliding sunroof. People that have no dignity will love the scissor doors. Still, the seats are giving up the ghost.
More worryingly, the owner mentions: “the only problem is the car has a little black smoke coming from the tailpipe.” It’s hard to pinpoint what’s what because black exhaust smoke can be caused by a malfunctioning fuel injector, a sticking fuel pressure regulator, a defective oxygen sensor or a failing ECU.
If you’re interested in this third-generation Acura Integra with the skin of a BMW E60 5 Series, give the owner a call. No trades, please! Be wary, though: if you make the mistake to pay $3,800 of your hard-earned cash on this jalopy, legend has it you’ll lose all your friends, your girlfriend will leave you, and your parents will be disappointed. These said, $3,800 is enough dough for a clean 1998 Acura Integra or something else. So yeah, think about it and choose wisely before you make that call, okay?
