Getting a few things checked out on it, namely changing the oil and cutting the filter open.

I was using "round" numbers with my $20K statement.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Doesn't have heated seats. Doesn't have a service history.
It has a K&N intake and some aftermarket exhaust.
The car is in Reno, Nevada. Was owned by the original owner 13 years, then it was sold last summer and the carfax shows two owners in the last year, one was for 15 days. Here is a video that I found of it from July 2013:
You can see it has 28K miles, which match the Carfax. It also shows the stock exhaust and no K&N filter. It now has an aftermarket exhaust (don't know which type) and K&N, so I know somebody did that in the last year.
I did quite a bit of talking with the owner of the dealer, plus the mechanic there, plus I hired somebody off craigslist in Reno to go take pictures of it and send them to me as the dealer's website pictures are terrible.
It has a few stone chips on the hood and the front bumper has some more chips, which I will evaluate what to do. I will most likely clean the paint up and wax it and drive it like that for some time. The front bumper may have been painted previously is what they said. Not a big deal, could always get it painted again.
Here's the car:

I think I got a very good deal on it. $3K below asking.
Looks nice. The low miles should mean a pretty fresh car.
As long as the mechanicals are OK, it could be a very nice car.
As far as mods, parts of the console, the "horseshoe" around the HVAC controls, and several dash trim pieces look to have been painted or replaced.
How do you feel about the headlight covers? Can you tell how long they've been on the car?
Whether you like them or not, I would want to know how they are applied/installed to see if they can be removed without damage to the headlights.
Let us know how this turns out!
In regard to the horseshoe, you know I will be on ebay every day for months until I find a black leather piece and a black leather console!!! Need to mod something you know.
I don't like the headlight covers, but will figure out what to do with them, somebody in Canada said they would be interested in them.
Very similar to my car in terms of options. Again, if you want to get rid of those horrendous looking wheels, I'll trade you even up for my gorgeous twists.
Congrats - looks like a very nice car!
congrats! I bought a '99 C2 last week myself. Triple the miles and 2/3 the price, similar condition. If I had found that car with the LN IMS retrofit and new clutch (which mine also had), I Would have been all over it for what you paid. I think that's a tremendous amount of car for $20K!! You can barely buy a used Accord with 30K miles for that!!
Dude....nice! I just bought the exact same car, sans the awesome rims and 4 for $2500 less. Good deal.
About the service history...it's got 30k on it, who would expect a lengthy service history. Perform the 30k service, which includes plugs, oil, all filters, fuel pump filter. At the PPI have them drain/change transmission fluid and reach finger in around tray drain plug to look for the silver grease IMS...sigh.
Then buy it and drive the **** out of it!
Maybe I missed a posting saying he gave $20000 for the car as the video says "Less than $35000".. It's a gorgeous looking car with low mileage but not for $35000. That is unless he wanted to pay a large chunk of the mods done to the car.
the dealer add had a $24999 price and he said he got it $3K below that, so $22K. I was using "round" numbers with my $20K statement. Anyway - heck of a car and deal for $22K too, especially for a C4.
$22K is the price. They are installing new tires on it today, the dealer is picking up some of the cost.
I live tomorrow for MN for a meeting at 8 AM Friday morning, have a 2:30 PM flight out to Reno, arrive at 6:40 PM local time, I will either go pick the car up then, or wait until Saturday morning to pick it up.
I'm flying one of my high school buddies out there on Friday, we're going out Friday night and then spending three days driving it back! Should be fun!
That's a great deal especially from the Dealer. One side of me wonders if they are hiding anything about the car. Either way as stated previously, congrats.
You almost steeled that car, what a great price with the miles and mods! Enjoy in good health, I just did doughnuts in my office parking lot in my c2 (on Pilot SS) in this years first snow; they are a blast.
