My First Honda
Hello everyone, I've never drove a Honda before. I just bought this 1999 Honda Civic LX (Sedan).
He wanted $2,800. I got it for $2,400 cash.
Body has 200k miles.
Engine and transmission has been rebuilt 20k miles ago. He has a 94 Civic engine he bought (remanufactured I guess) from http://cncenginedynamics.com and he still has the receipts. He paid $1,700 for the motor.
Engine:
Craigslist Ad:
It has a few scratches here and there but all around, it's a good body with no dents/rust.

I have a 1999 civic lx 4 door 5spd for sale 2800 obo..
If your looking for a car thats great on gas and perfect to travel in or get back and fourth to work then this is a good buy.
the car is in good running and working condition, the motor just been rebuilt along with the transmission and they both have less then 20k miles..( the motor is a 1.6 vtec )
it has a new clutch, new ac compressor, new belts , and new wipers. the inspection is good until 10/12.
The body of the car is in good shape for its year but not perfect,needs radio fuse, the hood needs some attention but its nothing to be concern about.
all the car needs is a balance and alinegment...
The A/C Blows cold air and with a new Honda motor you know it will run forever..

Re: My First Honda
a new motor after only 12 yrs? makes you wonder how badly it was abused and what other issues it may have as a result. used cars are a mixed bag and there is ALWAYS a reason someone is selling it. nobody sells used cars that are in good condition unless they are moving out of the country. needs radio fuse? that must be a joke or this guy is too lazy to buy a $1 fuse and spend a minute replacing it.

Welcome to a bunch Hondaholics!
Congratz on that buy. Looks like you got a pretty good deal.
Beware: If you hang out long enough on this forum, you'll have that thing in showroom condition in no time.
Have fun!

Yeah, the radio doesn't work. I have hundreds of fuses, I will be checking it tomorrow when it's light out. There is a little tick noise (doesn't go faster when reving I don't think), I hear it's because it's a vtec and vtec's do that.
It shifts great and the motor pushes that car well. Everything in the car works electronically except the radio. The doors are good, no previous hinge welding or anything like that.
There is a sound coming from either a polley or the top right belt which I will check out tomorrow.

Fuse was good, lucky for me I put my VR3 stereo in 7 different vehicles so I know about putting stereos in. Hopefully it's just wired wrong else I'll be taking the VR3 out of my truck
