Default wtt my 97 civic lx 5speed for an AUTOMATIC

I have a black LX with 115xxx. It runs perfect, shifts perfect, and looks perfect inside and out. Completely stock. I'm looking to trade for an automatic for my wife. She wants power everything and a sunroof. She would rather have a 6th or 7th gen coupe but if there's anyone who has put power in a 5th or 6th gen hatch, let me know what you have even if it's not what I mentioned.

This car is awsome. I'm not trying to push my crap off on anyone, engine, tranny, inside, and out is mint. Somebody has to have an auto out there that wants to trade. I'll give this post a few mor days and then I'm going to keep it.

What kind of gas mileage do you get, how many miles are on the car, and is it an SI or an S or what? Do you have anymore pictures?

This is the last time I bump my own post. You guys are missing out on a great deal here, but I'm not going to beg anyone. If I don't get any interest, I'll just keep it.

It's a prelude SI and it's not that great on gas - 23 mpg on premium and it has 140k on the odometer. but it has everything else you asked for...

Well, the gas mileage is the most important thing, and the miles are a lot higher than I would have wanted. Do you have any other pics, interior, engine???

The cars exterior is not perfect. It has normal driving wear and tear. Some fading on the bumpers and wing, and has small spots of rust on the sunroof and door edge.

It doesn't have the fenderwell rust that usually plagues hondas. Its not as bad as it sounds, I'm just trying to be honest and detailed with the description.

It runs well, the only mechanical problem is the ABS light is on. The brakes work fine, but the abs doesnt pulsate for some reason I can't figure out.

I think I'll have to pass on the trade. My car is mint, and getting your car back to mint will take more than I'm willing to spend. To answer your question about the sunroof, my wifes first car had a sunroof and she loved it. It was a cavalier, so I'd rather here get the sunroof she loves but stay in the honda family. She is driving a 91 civic hatch with 73xxx miles on it. It's a great car, but I'd rather drive the older car and let her drive the newer one just incase something happens. Plus we just sold her 97 LX because it had hail damage covering every inch of the car. If the 91 hatch she has would have power options, I'd be completely fine with it. Thanks for your time, and good luck if you try to sell your car.

I don't mean to tell you how to do things, but when you are trying to get rid of a
car you might want to have pictures and details ready. I put both of our cars in
KBB.COM in excellent condition. Yours values at $3725 and mine values at $4790.
Your car is clearly not in excellent condition, so the $1000+ gap gets a little
bigger. And we both know that, although KBB.COM says an AUTOMATIC values more than a MANUAL, that's not how it really is. If we had the same exact car with
the same exact mileage in the same exact condition, my car being a MANUAL is
worth more to the people on this site than your AUTO.
