I am picking up a shell and a motor soon so I am testing the waters to see what I can get for my 97 EJ8. I know that selling a car in these times is a slow process so I figured I would start now.
$2800 - buyer smogs and aligns (have the "not so" old smog to prove it passes)
$3000 - I smog and align
$3300 - I smog, align and give you the BNIB OEM items (mud guards and floor mats), stock USED OEM springs, Spoon (rep) poly lip, and eBay coilovers
This car is well maintained and mechanically sound. The interior is very clean (just detailed).
Car was purchased from HT member "rexone" in November of 08.
Orignal Post: http://www.hondamarketplace.com/show....php?t=2089156
1997 Civic EX
Clean title
Silver
182,xxx on chasis
25/26,xxx on rebuilt motor (previous owner - "rexone")
AC PS PW PDL CRUISE
Moonroof (99-00 moonroof + headliner installed; works really well)

Replaced old/torn sun visors with MINT 96-00 sun visors
Tint

Pros:
Practically stock aside from the H&R springs on stock shocks
Clean title
Low miles on rebuilt motor
Runs well (no overheating)
No grinds
Never raced
Adult owned
New clutch + clutch cylinder (resurfaced flywheel also - have receipt 8/X/09)
Recent tune up when clutch was installed (have receipt, 8/X/09)
New pads all around and new front rotors (1/X/10)
Recent oil change
Current tags
Cons:
Chip on windshield (previous owner; hasn't enlarged)
Oxidation on paint with normal dings/scratches for 13 y/o car (I think I counted 2 tiny dings)
Camber wear on tires (steelies with 75% tread are easy to find and cheap)
AC blows cold, but MAY need a recharge soon *EDIT* as of 2/14/10 the AC seems to be blowing cold
OEM radio volume button is tricky at times, but still works (have spare OEM radio for parts, not a big deal as I have dealt with it for over a year now)
"EX" emblem on the back is held on by double sided tape (easy to remove and clean up, I may do it myself. Not a "con" really)
**NOTE**
Parts I may include if I get the right price ($3300)...
BNIB OEM 96-98 mud guards
BNIB OEM 96-00 coupe floor mats (graphite)
Spoon (rep) poly lip with hardware
D16y8 IACV (bought off of eBay, but never installed because CEL disappeared)
96-00 stock springs
No name coilovers
Spare cruise control and hazard button (bought some off a HT member because the ones in the car have the clear coat chipping off. They still work fine, but I dont like the way they look because Im picky)

Bad angle maybe. I'd have to look at the pics because in person it all looks the same. Weird.
Pending sale this Saturday.
