Advice with possible trade for Hilux (my civic!!)

Hey guys, so i recently sold my 99 limited lifted on LC's and picked up an 07 civic si. I thought i needed something more appropriate for commuting to work but i need to tow my boat (about 3000lb set up with trailer). I love these runners and love the hilux diesels ever so much more. Here is the ad, its the 3L :). It is lifted on 4" body spacer with 35"'s. I would prefer a 2-3" lift on 33's..

My big question here is what do you guys think the ride will be like.. my commute is highway but i like to get up to a lot of adventures out side of work, and do some offroading a few times a year. I could consider picking up a cheap civic to get me back and forth from work (about 15 miles each way). He is asking 9k and my civic is worth 13k so he would pay cash on top. The price seems pretty reasonable as these are quite rare and any other similar model year with similar mileage is the same or more and has no aftermarket parts.

What are your thoughts on this trade.. will i hate the ride? I know some of these questions are a personal opinion but i like hearing what you guys have to think, thanks!

dude your text is kind of hard to follow, calm down a bit. Maybe its because your Canadian and I'm in California LoL...

so you sold your 3rd gen, bought a CIVIC SI, and are asking US what we think of the lifted 94 you found for sale ?

I think you never should have sold the 3rd Gen. Case closed (mostly) :fishing:

The 94 looks cool but that is the whole debate 2nd Gen vs 3rd Gen ....

I won't comment other than to say the 3rd Gen is probably a far better towing vehicle.
 
4inch body lifts I'm pretty sure are illegal.... least in Washington state they are. A 3.0L backed by a auto trans will have far less power than your previous experience with the 3rd gen. Plus with 35's unless he regeared you'll hate your daily commute. buy another 3rd gen, case closed.
