Car had dings professionally removed with Paintless Dent Removal. Also was detailed on the exterior, interior, and engine bay. The exterior detail process consists of 5 stages with Wolfgang German Polishing Products and 3 different cutting, polishing, and finishing (Buffing pads).

As for the Civic Floor Mat Recall on the Carfax: It was fixed with a new driver's side floor mat slide stop pin that bolts under the seat when I installed the new set of Honda Floormats.

Currently has a super mint set of 15" Acura Integra GS-R fat five alloy wheels installed. I have the the original set of 14" steelies with great Falken tires that come with the car.

This Honda Civic hatchback truly feels like a go cart! It's affordable, reliable and doesn't require much to keep it running for a long, long time. The clutch grabs smoothly and the gears are nice and firm. Must drive to appreciate. Engine runs smooth and quiet. Truly a standout in the crowd of other Civic hatchbacks. It was always garaged and waxed on a consistent basis. The paint is smooth and shiny. It has no dings or dents. The paint is protected for years to come. All vehicle identification number tags are intact. Everything is stock. The engine has been rust proofed when it was bought new. It could be a cost efficient commuter that will serve you for years to come. Gets over 38 miles to the gallon. I can provide the VIN upon request or a Carfax vehicle history report.

Car is located in Hoffman Estates (the NW suburbs of Chicago, IL).

My price is more then reasonable. I can't even find one that compares to it with such a clean accident-free body, all VIN tags intact, all maintenance up to date, and one that drives this nice. Most that I find are going for $5,000 with faded paint, in rough condition, and nothing that I just listed.

No color changes. All original paint on the car. The engine has a "flat" appearance due to the rust proofing from the dealership back in '97.
