Default FS: Taffeta White 08 FA5 (Stock!)

**AC has been repaired. Price adjusted to include working AC.**

For sale is my 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan. It is Taffeta White and stock. It has around 104,000 miles on it, which will continue to go up as it is my daily driver. 100,000 miles service has been done, and includes a recent car inspection from a local shop showing the car is in good shape. Clean title in hand.

I bought this car in June 2013 just after my son was born. I was driving a 95 Civic Si, but didn't want to put a carseat in the back of that hatch. So, I bought this sedan. It's been great! I bought it from the original owner, a lady in Ohio, who purchased it new and kept all of the service records. It had around 70k on the odometer when I bought it, and I've put just over 30k on this car in the 2+ years I've had it. I looked for this specific color for a while. Taffeta white is my favorite color that Honda has made, and it's pretty hard to find a stock Taffy FA5 any more.

I didn't ever plan to sell this car, but our 2nd kiddo is being born in May, and I want to get back into a wagon. Plus, we just got my wife a BMW X3 and I prefer to drive that more than my Civic.

Good:

Stock
All service records from dealerships, shops and myself since new
No accidents
Skunk2 weighted shift ****
New Optima Yellow top battery (7/15)
Coolant drain and fill (9/15)
100k tune up complete including Valve Cover gasket, spark plugs and valve adjustment
New cabin air filter (7/14)
K&N air filter (7/14)
Continental DSW tires with 5/32 tread left (4/14)
MTF replaced with Red Line SAE 75W80 (10/14)
Oil changed with Royal Purple or Mobil1 since I've had it
Brake fluid flush with ATE DOT4 fluid (3/15)
Brakes are Meyhle Rotors with Stop tech pads (10/13)
Aux
All-weather Honda floor mats. The Si carpet and mats look brand new
Sunroof guard
JDM front, rear and steering wheel Honda emblems
2 keys plus valet key

Bad:

3 or 4 lights on the A/C control are out. I have the bulbs, but don't want to take the dash off to replace them
Rock chips from the car being 8 years old (nothing major)
Previous owner pulled over a parking guard to far and broke the clips on the plastic guard under the front bumper. I secured it with zip ties.

This is an 8 year old car that has been taken care of extremely well. The original owner was a lady in her 30s and I am currently 30. My racing days are behind me. I've definitely driven this car fast, hit redline and used VTEC often. That's what it's made for. The car has not been beaten on at all, and I've driven it all over the country. It's a great car, and a hard to find color that is stock and hasn't been riced out or abused.

I'm an open book about this car. I know it inside and out. If you have questions or want certain pictures, let me know and I'll answer anything you want to know. I'm located in Nashville, TN, but drive to Atlanta, GA quite often. I'm willing to meet or help arrange shipping.

Car comes with all service records, original shift ****, and front license plate bracket, not attached.

Thanks for reading, and let me know what questions you have.

Only trades considered are 04-07 Volvo V70R or MKV GTI with $2000 cash on your end. I don't want anything else, so please don't ask.

Yep! Everything is original. Panels, windows, interior, everything. I don't have any engine bay or trunk pictures, but I can take them soon. I need to clean the car, so I'll scrub down the engine as well. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

Still have it. Ordered an A/C Compressor Clutch Relay to see if that fixes the intermittent A/C issue. If not, I'll be replacing the compressor next week.

Any questions about the car?
