97 Civic EX Coupe for sale

Hi everyone,

We have decided it's time to pass our Civic on to the next generation. Here are the details of the car:

- I am the original owner; currently has 214K highway mileage. Auto trans. All original / stock parts (no performance mods other than standard maintenance). Garage kept up until 2011.

- Car is in excellent running condition. Starts with no problem, idles smooth, accelerates fine and no hesitation. Engine shows its age, but runs very smooth. I always kept up on regular maintenance (oil changes, air filters, wiper blades, etc.).

- Body is in very good condition. It has the minor dings and "door dents" you'd expect with a car this age, but nothing else. There is also a minor rust spot right behind the passenger rear wheel, but that's it (see vid for closeup). Car was repainted by Maaco in 2011.

- Underneath is clean. NO LEAKS.

- All lighting (outside and inside the car) and all dash gauges work fine. Headlamp housings replaced late last year.

- Replacements in the past year include: upper/lower radiator hoses; fuel filter; spark plugs, wires, distributor cap; tires; entire exhaust from front to back (cat, resonator, muffler). ALL new suspension (replaced in May 2013). This includes springs, shocks, upper/lower ball joints, tie rod ends, CV axles, rear wheel bearings, lower and upper control arms, and more. Car was professionally re-aligned afterwards. Also replaced all brakes (front and rear) and flushed entire brake system with new fluid. Tranny fluid just replaced two weeks ago.

- Minor upgrades include an aftermarket alarm with Remote Starter (GREAT for those cold mornings!). Mirror tint on the rear windows. XM Ready stereo system.

- I have a history of every receipt and a basic log of everything I did dating back to when we first got the car.

- All engine service and maintenance throughout the life of the car was done by myself (with the exception of timing belt changes).

Here is a
to a complete video of the car.

There are really no major issues to speak of. There are minor things like: heater core hoses in the engine compartment are original and need replacing (starting to leak a bit where they connect to the engine), minor trunk leak in very heavy rains (needs new gasket). That small rust spot I spoke to above and in the video. For the nitty-gritty folks, the seat belt light on the dash cluster doesn't work. But these are the things you'd expect from a car of this age with this mileage. Otherwise I would consider this car in AMAZING condition.

I am located in Effort, PA (18330). I took VERY good car of this car during its lifetime and quite honestly don't want to let it go. So I continue to use the car for daily driving. Car is being sold AS IS with no warranty. I am in no rush to sell it, and will not entertain low ball offers. I kindly ask that you don't waste my time if you are not prepared to pay my asking price of $2300. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking.
