Default FS (maybe): 1995 DX Hatch 35k Original Miles - Illinois

**** I added the pictures to the bottom of the page for those that don't want to click on the link. If you want full size pics you'll still have to.****

Hi,

Lately I've been throwing around the idea of selling my hatch because I'm going to school in the fall and could use the money. It's a bone stock 95 DX with only 35k original miles, never modified (except for kill switch). I bought it only two months ago from Meyer Honda in Fairview Heights Illinois, about 25 minutes from St. Louis, Missouri. It was a trade in from a middle aged guy that used it to drive to and from work. The owner before him was an 80 year old army veteran who was a honda fanatic. When he sold the car it only had 11,xxx miles on it (early 2002).

I am a perfectionist and cannot say that this car is perfect, but it is as close as it gets. The paint is as shiny as new, with a few small nicks from driving, just tiny rock chips on the front end, which I tried to get pictures of. The interior is immaculate except for the small scratches on the tailgate ( I guess thats what it is), and the two small discolorations on the cargo cover, which I have pictures of both. The only major flaw is a tiny indent on the back driver side quarter panel (which I will have removed). I attempted to take pictures of every imperfection the car has, but if there are any other pictures a potential buyer would like, just ask.

Even though I live in Illinois, the car has no rust on it, because it has barely been driven. I am very picky with how clean my cars are, so I regularly take it to the car wash (too cold to do it myself) about twice a week to make sure that no salt sticks to it.

I have an appointment on Thursday the 12th for the car to receive its 30k mile service at the honda dealer, after which it will be detailed.

I am asking $5,500 OBO (Please READ this part! For those on H-T that don't seem to understand, OBO means "Or Best Offer" or "Negotiable", "Flexible", "I can work on the price", take your pick). If you're just going to flame on the price, please move along. I don't want to hear about how you can get a GSR hatch for the same price or a little more. If you want a GSR hatch, buy a GSR hatch. If I don't get the offer I want, I'll just keep the car.

Thanks for looking,

I mean a pic of mileage right on the dot. I can understand 35000 and some change. plus the fact that your somewhere you can just snap a pic right on the money is weird. Ive watched milestone markers before on my car and im always somewhere other than a spot to snap a pic.

My car had been sitting at 34,99x for about three days now. So, I took the digital camera, went to the car wash, and pulled into a church on the way home to take the picture. It does look weird, I know.

Bump, dont let anyone try to lowball you, the car is mint and in a few years time if you keep the mileage low its going to jump up in value, bunp

its not uncommon for a 92-95 hatch to have only 35k on it

my buddy has a 95 gsr with 32k on it and his mom has a 95 celica with 18k on it

my eg has 66k on it
