Default For Sale - 1997 Honda Civic DX 40MPG, AC, Great Daily, Indiana

Mileage: 176,xxx on chassis / ~100,000 on engine (not exactly sure)
VIN: Available upon request
Located: Central Indiana
CLEAN TITLE, ready to go
No trades

Well this is my 1997 Honda Civic DX Coupe. UNMOLESTED. It is VERY reliable! I drive it everyday. I would NOT hesitate to take a trip from Central Indiana all the way to Los Angeles in this car. And the best part is that I could do that in the comfort of cold air conditioning and 40 miles per gallon.

The car has no rust. It has spent most of it's life in Georgia. It has been in Indiana for about 1 winter if I recall correctly. The paint is pretty good, but shows some age as it is an eleven year old car now (some scratches). The undercarriage of the car is SUPERB... no rusty bolts or anything of the like. WILL NOT PART OUT ANYTHING

Onto the specs:

Engine
-1995 Honda Civic VX block (swapped for gas mileage)
-1995 Honda Civic VX tranny (gas mileage)
-ACT HDSS Clutch
-Short ram intake
-Gold valvecover

Interior
-EM1 front seats
-EM1 rear seats
-EM1 full center console from the cupholders all the way back to the armrest
-EM1 steering wheel
-Stock floormats
-DC Sports Shifter *BALLIN*
-Very nice front speakers with components in the rear (SOUNDS GOOD)
-Overall I would rate the interior 9/10

Exterior
-Mugen Style front lip (freshly painted trim black)
-JDM sidemarkers
-JDM Depo Yellow Foglights
-CTR style grille
-Brand new CTR style black housing headlights
-99/00 Civic Tail Lights
-OEM Mudflaps included
-Freshly trim blacked the sideskirts, and wiper arms

Misc
-H&R Lowering Springs
-EM1 muffler; polished the rear that faces people
-Rear strut bar
-Fresh oil change
-Fresh front brake pads
-Password: JDM Magnetic oil pain drain bolt
-Stock steelies with OEM Hubcaps
-35% tint

I will update if there are any details I left out.

The bad
-Passenger side window handle kept stripping out (the plastic) so, when necessary, have been using vice grips to roll the window up or down. Haven't really addressed this issue as the car has AC.
-Some noise from the throw out bearing.
-Previous owner told me a truck backed into him in a parking lot and hit the front bumper. Pic below. Nothing major. Was a 1mph impact.

The goal of this car was to just have a nice, low key, daily driver that gets great gas mileage and has AC. The car is NOT quick in any way, shape, or form. It just looks good while going slow CLEAN TITLE in hand, ready to go.

SALE
Reason I am selling is because I have a new car now and no longer need this vehicle. Looking to get $4,000 OBO Will flex a little on the price but low ballers need not ask.

PICS















Taken today (DIRTY):







^^^^There's where it was hit in the parking lot^^^^







Most recent (a bit dirty):













So there you have it... a clean reliable 40MPG daily driver with AC. As you can tell, some of the pics are older (when it HAD Slips and NO lip).
