1995 Honda Civic Vx Hatchback 3-door 1.5l - 55 Mpg!!!! on 2040-cars
Warsaw, Indiana, United States
We have long dreaded
this day. Eight and a half years ago, we
flew to
So, let’s start with
the bad stuff – it is rusting out. This
is the only reason we are selling. It
still runs great and is very dependable, but the rust is progressing. I found that there is rust around two of the
bolts that mount the rear axle. So, for
that reason, I AM ADVERTISING THIS AS A
PARTS CAR. We drove it to work
today, and it still goes down the road fine, but that will be at your
risk. I believe that you could readily
drive it home to anywhere, but that is your decision, and my opinion should not
be considered. I am also not liable for
your decisions.
The driver’s seat
has some tears (in typical Civic fashion), and the carpet is worn out on the
driver’s side. The dome light does not
work reliably, and never has.
In 2010, a highway
department plow-truck backed into the back of the car, breaking the back window
and lightly damaging the window frame.
This was repaired, and new rear fenders were welded in, which explains the difference in the paint color at
the back. This did not affect the
drivability of the car.
How about some good
stuff? Well, it runs great and gets
great gas mileage. The VX model has a
special engine with unique camshaft lobes that allow for very frugal fuel
consumption below 2500 rpm. Since 2000
rpm in 5th gear is 65 mph, it is easy to save fuel.
The engine has over 248,000
miles, but still doesn’t need oil added between oil changes. The 5-speed transmission growls a bit at
idle, but shifts smoothly, and had a new clutch last year. The distributor was replaced a few years ago,
and the starter was new in 2013.
All the glass is
intact, although the windshield is somewhat pitted. There are lots of usable parts – the hood,
both doors, and front fenders appear to be pretty much rust-free. The car has the original alloy wheels, and
all the center medallions are intact.
Inside, the dash
console all works. There are aftermarket
cruise control and stereo. The stereo
display does not light up, but it works fine otherwise, and has an aux input
jack. The air conditioning works
great.
The tires are good –
two of them were new last year. You will
also receive the owner’s manual, and a CD version of the shop manual. The title is clear, and you will receive a
bill of sale for the actual amount of the sale.
I don’t play games.
We have loved this
car and have taken good care of it. We
are non-smokers, and the interior is pretty clean. I have attempted to describe the car
thoroughly, and to provide clear pictures that represent the condition. Your bid is a legally binding contract, so I
STRONGLY recommend that you or a friend look this car over before bidding. Bid intending to buy.
I expect to receive
a deposit of $300 within 72 hours of the auction end, with the balance paid
within 10 days. The deposit may be via
PayPal, but any amount over $300 should be in cash. Sorry, no personal checks or money orders. |

Refreshed 2014 Honda Civic Coupe to bow at SEMA
Fri, 25 Oct 2013Honda has announced plans to bring a refreshed, 2014 Honda Civic Coupe to the 2013 SEMA Show, set to kick off on November 5. Honda's struggles with the ninth-generation Civic have been widely publicized, and while the 2013 model year sedan has seen a significant overhaul, the two-door is now getting some additional enhancements for 2014.
Honda has released one teaser image of the Civic Si Coupe to go along with the announcement, but we can discern a few things. The Si Coupe now features a larger rear spoiler, along with a restyled, more aggressive rear bumper, complete with a diffuser. The taillights look smoked, and the wheels look larger than the current Si's alloys.
Besides those details, it looks like we'll be waiting until November 5 to see just what Honda has in store for the Civic. Take a look below for the full press release from Honda.
Honda Accord Hybrid sales capacity constrained
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Honda might be selling more hybrids if it could just get them to dealers. While the second-generation Insight never lived up to sales expectations and production is ending, the Japanese automaker is seeing strong demand for the Accord Hybrid here and abroad. However, there is so much global consumer desire that it can't keep them in US showrooms.
The problem limiting the sales of the Accord Hybrid is its battery pack and its popularity in Japan. "There's a waiting list for the product," said Jeff Conrad, Honda general manager, to Ward's Auto about the sedan's US popularity. While the American Accord is built in Marysville, OH, the batteries are imported from Japan, where the model is quite popular. According to Ward's data, the automaker sold 2,414 examples of the hybrid version from October 2013 to February 2014 in the US, but it shifted 6,000 units in Japan in its first three months on sale. Conrad also admitted that the constrained supply is limiting the amount of marketing the automaker can do for the hybrid.
Honda spokesperson Chris Martin told Autoblog the company is working on a solution to increase production for the near future. "We are going to resolve the battery issue," he said.
Honda Urban SUV concept previews Fit-based crossover
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We've been hearing a lot of rumblings this year about a new crossover based on the Honda Fit, and now we finally get to see what this B-segment CUV might look like. Called the Urban SUV Concept, Honda's new small crossover has made its debut at the Detroit Auto Show, but we'll have to wait until 2014 to see the production version on sale in the US. Honda says the production version of this concept, whatever it will be called, will slot below the CR-V in terms of size and price.
In terms of this concept's styling, there is plenty of the new Honda Accord in its face, and it looks like a more rugged version of the Nissan Juke, as well as a more practical alternative to the Hyundai Veloster. With its short overhangs, the concept measures 169.3 inches in length, making it about eight inches longer than a Fit hatchback and nine inches shorter than the CR-V. Honda confirmed that its new crossover will debut a telematics system for Honda, and it will use one of Honda's new Earth Dreams engines; we previously reported that this engine would be a 1.5-liter I4 paired with a continuously variable transmission.
The next-generation Fit is expected to debut before this new crossover model, and both models will be built at Honda's Celaya, Mexico assembly plant, which is scheduled to open early next year. A new sedan is also expected to round out the lineup of Fit-based products. For more information about this new Urban SUV Concept, scroll down for Honda's official press release.
