1999 Honda Civic SI. THE YEAR IS NOT 1998 IT IS A 1999 ... the title was messed up.. So the Exterior and interior are pretty much perfect and looks awesome. The windows sunroof everything work perfectly. This is the SI model so it has the unique SI dash, SI upgraded suspension, and the SI body style. The car also has a brand new 2.5" full exhaust system(has a real nice deep sound to it). The engine has a rod knock in the first cylinder, this is the reason for selling it at such a low low price when the car is in such great condition. 4500 takes the car. Any questions, please call(661-949-2593/661-916-5068) or email at jhmailme@Yahoo.com, thank you

if it really is a si, it is a pretty good price...
i mean a b16a2 goes for like 2500 or less so ur gettin a 99 si for pretty damn cheap... well that is if the title is clean, not a salvage or theft recovered...

Take it for a test drive. If it drives good and is in good working/looking condition, then buy it in a hot minute cuz that's a good *** deal, salvaged or not. Better do it quick or else I'm gonna call, haha.

Buy it before this guy test drives it and throws the rod... rebuilding this block wont be very hard on u or ur pocket.

You should get it. You can easily get another b16 or mabye a GSR engine for 2000.
