1. Please follow forum rules and add a sign with username
2. I don’t think a DX hatch with those miles will have the potential bring in 10 grand if restored

Thank you for the advice. My first time putting up a for sale listing, and I did read the forum rules, but didn't see a mention regarding "tags" I still don't know how to comply to it.

Regarding up to $10k resale, I'm basing this on what I've seen on another website for 1988 DX hatchback. Also, value is subjective, so your opinion is valid, but still doesn't discount the fact that the car has potential to sell upwards to $10k when restored based on an existing ad that I saw on following link.

Thank you for helping moderate the forum.

The photos that you post must have a piece of paper in the pic with your username, the date and "Honda-Tech" on it.

So, you are comparing your car to a JDM Right-Hand Drive vehicle with less than 32,000 miles, immaculate paint and interior with a 10K asking price ? It also has a high-end factory radio with optional rear speakers... yours does not. How about that "parking pole"... you got nothing there.
Does your A/C work ?

You're correct, this is not comparable to a JDM Civic hatchback. The post is updated to exclude the phrase about the value amount.

Yes, A/C works.
