2005 Civic Si EP3 Nighthawk Black Pearl - mint
Year: 2005
Make: Honda
Model: Civic Si
Color: Nighthawk Black Pearl
Mileage: 70k
Transmission: Manual
Price: $11k
Selling my beloved 2005 Civic Si because I bought a different car (boosted RSX-S). The color is nighthawk black pearl (NHBP) and looks fantastic when clean - the paint has a dark blue sparkle to it. The mileage just rolled over 70k miles and will go up slightly as its my daily driven car. My commute to work is ~4 miles so that's how the mileage is so low.
The 2005 model is better than the previous 02-03 model because it has OEM sideskirts, redesigned headlights and taillights, 5 lug wheels, side impact airbags, plastic trim inside the engine bay to cover the fenders, and carpeted/insulated rear fender liners to reduce road noise.
Long read ahead.. I will tell you everything I know about the car inside and out.
History:
I'm the second owner and have babied this car from day 1. The original owner was a 35yr old European dude who intended to keep the car forever, so he babied it as well. Unfortunately he was relocated back to Europe and that's when I acquired the car. I bought the car with only 12k miles in 2007, and the car has only seen Premium 93 octane gas and Mobil1 5w-30 synthetic oil paired w/OEM or Hamp oil filters. I've changed the transmission fluid 3 times (not because it needed it - I'm just OCD with maintenance) and it now has Amsoil synthetic syncromesh trans fluid. Recently replaced the cabin air filters with new OEM units.
The Good:
-Car is lowered 1" on Eibach ProKit springs w/OEM dampers, rides perfect & no camber wear (just had alignment & it meets OEM specs).
-Windows professionally tinted 35% all the way around w/lifetime warranty
-Newer Continental all-season tires have less than 6k miles
-New OEM brake pads, Brembo blank rotors, Russell stainless steel brake lines, and OEM Honda brake fluid.
-OEM foglights dealer installed
-OEM HFP carbon fiber trim on center console and air vents
-Comes with DC5R front lower chassis brace, helps improve rigidity.
-Interior is spotless, driver side seat has some bolster wear from being daily driven (kind of hard to avoid with the suede seats)
-Car always garage kept and meticulously kept clean and waxed, car always looks minty fresh.
Maintenance history:
-Driver side window regulator broke, had this replaced at Honda dealership.
-Water pump and tensioner pulley replaced under warranty for making noise
-Minor rock chips and door dings from being daily driven for 7+ years
The car has never been wrecked or in any accidents, and has a clean title which I own outright. My brother is an ASE Master Certified Tech for Ford and he has taken care of most of the maintenance for me, except for the body work obviously.
Asking $11k OBO. No trades, no BS.
The picture below are from 3/25 after I just hand washed/waxed it. It was detailed inside and out, looks nice.

Bamp. The JDM Honda Access window visors, Buddy Club short shifter, and T1R midpipe are all coming with the car.
