Default FT: '97 EJ8 116k miles for DC

I've been contemplating whether I should post this here or not but I guess it doesn't hurt.

I'm looking to trade my '97 Honda Civic EX Coupe for a '98-'01 Acura Integra LS or GS. Your car must have a clean title, zero issues, and less than 160K miles. I spent a lot on the car to get it reliable and I'd be foolish to trade it for a car with problems and with high mileage.

I purchased this car from the first owner. Clean title, smogged, and currently up-to-date with registration. The car has only 118k miles on the original D16Y8 1.6 SOHC VTEC. Yes, it has a 5 speed manual and an EX model so it has all factory options. The car is maintenance free and has seen visits to Honda regularly. Everything on the car works (sunroof, A/C, cruise control, etc) and is bone stock.

Although fairly clean, few imperfections in the interior and in the paint on the roof of the car are its only flaws. Other than that, everything is perfectly sound. The engine bay and undercarriage of the car is spotless. The car does not leak oil or has any problems.

Take the car to Honda and let them do a 24 point inspection on this car, the car is reliable.


Here are the following maintenance done on the car accordingly:
-New Timing Belt at 110K, August 2010
-New Oil Pan, Gasket, November 2010
-Fresh fluids: Oil/Brake/Clutch/Power Steering/Coolant, November 2010.
-Engine Air Filter, November 2010
-Distributor Housing O-Ring/Hose, November 2010
-New Duralast Gold Battery (2 year warranty) + Terminals, February 2011
-New Rear Brake Shoes replaced, March 2011
-Fresh fluids: Oil Change/Coolant, April 2011
-New Hood Latch Cable, May 2011

And here are the pictures taken from a crappy cell phone:

Soon, I still have about ~500 miles left to go until it's due for one.

I probably will get to it if there's any real interest. As for cash on top, not quite so especially if it's stock for stock but if it's a GS-R of course. I don't have cash so I'm going to edit my post and request for an LS/GS.

The car recently clocked in at 117k. In about 200 miles, it will be due for an oil change which I'll soon take care of.

I honestly would keep it. No one will want to trade from 98+ Integras for 96-98 Civics. It's sort of downgrading from it. How much is for a gallon of 87 octane in L.A.? $4.50?

That's an understatement as there are a few who would make the switch. As far as downgrading, it may be on your eyes. You may not do it but others would. We're not talking about a GSR here.

With the gas prices, I haven't paid much attention to it ha.

Just got an oil change. Add that to the list of maintenance items.

I can't emphasize how my statement is so true and I'm going to overstate it. I was in the same situation. I was WILLING to add cash on my end but it didn't happened. I just ended up selling it.
