I have a 1994 Honda Civic Coupe EX. I'm going to buy a new car and sell this one to one of my fellow students in NC State.
It has 170000 miles and still runs smoothly.
Looks just like this one:http://ppgmedia.buysell.com/ppgphotos/US2604/US2604_2008612112317703736-display.jpg
With moon roof and everything, except I got customized wheels. Also has a loudable CD player which is not stock.
During the three and half years of ownership I have got a new distributor and a new alternator, which are the most frequent broken parts on a stock Civic. Also got two new brakes for the back wheels, and new tires from this Spring.
Known defects: 1. the main relay is old and not very responsive during hot weathers. I leave it hanging next to my left foot so when I start up the engine I'll kick it a few times so that it clicks in and kicks off the fuel pump.
2. the windshield wiper is not very responsive when the window is still dry.
3. A few broken speakers
Gas efficiency: never measured, but I can drive from Raleigh to Charleston with 9 gallons of gas.
Availability: somewhere in February
Location: university oaks
Price: negotiable. I got it for $4000.
Contact: message me or call me (336)428-6274

when I was shopping for civics I was really surprised at:
A) how hard it was to find a clean one
B) how much they were selling for
Civics stagnate in value after a while. $3k dealer value kinda shows this
I would imagine that this guy should be able to get $2k for it pretty easily
So good luck with your sell 12/27/2008 11:06:00 PM |

ive only had two hondas but ive never had to replace a dizzy. ive had to throw axle shafts, various gaskets and seals, and other small misc. parts. but i didnt think it was "most frequently" common to replace these parts, like a timing belt or something 12/28/2008 12:43:49 PM |

main relay is ~$70, and is an easy fix... that shouldnt be the determining factor when buying a honda
this price, on the other hand... 12/29/2008 9:21:18 AM |

We get it. Your dad is a car dealer, you can find a better deal, and you don't know the difference between the HX and EX models. You can go away now.12/29/2008 11:45:41 AM |

re solder the main relay. replace the igniter in the distributor. check and replace oil everytime you get gas (330-400 miles). if you can do those 2 things you can drive a Honda 250k miles.
