The older cars will be having problems with seals drying
out(brakes,steering,clutch) and leaking,may need a timing belt change.
Had to replace the thermostat on my GSR.(easy job)

Hatch lift struts may need replacement,suspension shocks/struts too.

The clearcoat paint may be wearing thin,ready to fail.

I note that many 2dr Integras have problems with the rear side window trim
peeling away from the glass,requiring GLASS replacement(it's one
assembly),and the finish looks rotten,too,like some fungus grows on it.

But I love my Integra,I wish they still made them,instead of that ugly RSX.

I love my '97 Integra. The main thing is mileage. If it has over 90k
make sure the timing belt has been replaced, or count on doing it
(cost is pretty steep, around a grand) after purchase.

My local Acura dealer advertises replacing timing belts for $250.

I had mine replaced for around $400, and that included the water pump,
too.
