Went to go see this 2002 Honda Civic EX? Is it worth it?

Okay. First off I'm not paying $6K for it. I already told him the most I would give him was $4.5K. So I told him if he doesn't get a better offer before he moves, mine still stands. I went to go to see it in person today, but didn't inspect it fully. I did look under the hood, and it's not in a very clean condition. He apparently bought it two years ago when it had 112K so I know the previous owner before had a longer history with the car. I just want to know if it would be worth it or not. I have yet to check under the car but it's really low. The coilovers and body kits are modified. Btw I'm looking for a first car, so I can't afford to make the wrong purchase.

Added (1). Also I got the VIN and carfax showed 24 reports while autocheck showed 32. I haven't purchased it yet, because he might sell it, but probably will if I he doesn't sell the car.

No, even $4,500 i too much for a Civic EX, unless the car is the perfect color or something move on. I doubt he will drop the price that much, especially if he too overpaid 2 years ago.

So many "kids" desire Civics they are often overpriced, I would look at other cars not just Honda's. I love Honda's but too many kids wanting them keeps the prices too high for what they are worth.
