Description: Up for sale is my 1996 Honda Civic EX 5spd. I would say that this car will best suit someone in search of a project car, or (with light work) a fantastic daily, especially considering its price-point. This car has been an awesome A-B car for the last 6 years. Having bought new car, this one is never driven and is ready to pass on. Please see below for details.

Please contact me if you're interested.

Overview:
- Mileage: (ODO stuck at 82,599)
- Exterior Condition: Dents/dings see below
- Interior Condition: Good
- Inspection: Current through Dec.
- Modifications: Intake/Exhaust/Coilovers/etc

On with the details!

Goodz:

-Lots of work taken care of in just the last few years.

Replaced the following 2 years ago:

*Head

*Gasket

*Plugs

*Wires

*Timing Belt

*Water Pump

*Thermostat

*Front Discs

*Front Pads

*Radiator Hoses

Replaced last year:

*Drum Shoes

*Midpipe

Replaced this year:

*Windshield

*All four tires

-Comes with infinity speakers/harnesses. Fronts installed, you can have the rear 6x9's.

-Gas mileage is amazing (est 36mpg+)

-The A/C works well

Badz:

-Needs a new radiator cap that fits the autozone one that is installed. Stock one seems to have a small leak under press. and should be replaced with one of correct fitment.

-E brake works but needs adjustment. Has gone from 'have to pull it up really far' to 'leave your car in first gear when you park...'

-Trunk is not water tight. Would recommend resealing before putting precious, water-soluble goods inside.

-Driver side window won't roll all the way up. It is currently in the up position, but has common regulator problem. This may require a new part.

-Windshield wiper column won't stay in the off position. Requires disassembly, possibly a part, or generally something to keep it in the off pos.

Uglyz:

-Exterior has paint flaking and dents and dings. Some corrosion at body panel butt joints. Etc Etc. It won't make kids pull over and laugh. But it won't turn any heads.

-Slow leak of oil. Has been checked out on multiple occasions, but no one can find a leak. Your guess....may be correct...

-ODO doesn't roll. It work for a time and stopped sometime in 2007.

In Essence: I know that was a lot of reading, but it's easier to be thorough. If you can get past the ugly, then I hope you'll agree that the price is right. Pick up this civic for super Cheap!
