In 2011, I came across a deal on a 98 EX auto. I had to grab it. For almost two years it was my daily never letting me down. I cleaned it up, and made it mine. It was a really good car, but I couldn't drive auto anymore. I sold it for a big profit, and picked up my Accord 6-6. Last winter I needed a winter car, so I got a 95 Prelude S 5MT. It was a great car, but just too cramped.

I came across a 98 Civic HX 5MT 193k for $2500. The car needed tires, two lower motor mounts, a drive side axle, and an idler pulley for the A/C to work. I purchased the car for $1800. I fixed everything except the axle isn't installed yet.

The car is getting 36-38mpg with the A/C on all the time. I'm using it as a commuter/work car to save my Accord 6-6 from getting destroyed by construction equipment. I've already had offers for people to buy it, but I don't intend to sell anytime soon.

 

Nice find, wrong forum though.

 

I hadn't really looked at the HX/D16Y5 before. I've always liked the D15Z1 and the D16Y5 looks like a good update. Maybe time to sell my 'Sol and try out an HX.

 

Only if you really want good fuel economy. That's about all its really good for. It's a very basic car, and is reliable as expected.

 

Cleaned it up a bit today. I've changed the Axles, and starter as well. Spent some time to clean up the rims.

 

Like it better over the accord

 

So jealous.

I was hunting for an HX for months and couldn't find a thing! Nice find

 

Looks pretty damn good for 2,500. Good pick up, I'm currently looking for one myself.

 

damn nice pickup….good price too
