Buying used car

[hacker]

I was looking in the auto trader and I came accross a '92 civic hatch. It has a ZC motor (whatever that is) with 70,000km on it, and 196,000km on the body. Body is in mint condition. Lime green, blue interior, and stereo. He's asking $2700, is that a good price? and should I stay away from cars that have done engine swaps?

I guess the question is why did he do a engine swap at 126K. Should last atleast 200,000 before any more rebuilt or swap needed.

As any one here will say, take it in for inspection before any money is put down.
