Description

Hi there I am selling my 1992 Honda Civic VX with only 163k miles. I purchased it 2 years ago with 103k miles. It is in excellent mechanical condition. I am a commercial pilot and maintain my cars the same way I do my airplanes. I have spent close to $2k in parts and labor on my VX and have the receipts. I also have the maintenance receipts from the previous owners and they total to $4142. The timing belt and water pump were changed at 90k miles. The transmission and brake fluid were also changed at the 90k service. Here is a list of the parts that I have replaced: 2 Mogue front wheel bearings ($90) 2 Timken rear hub bearing assemblies ($120) o2 sensor ($350) distributor (Napa $160) distributor cables (Bosch $35) 4 spark plugs (NGK $30) alternator (Napa $130) serpentine belt ($20) Interstate battery ($110). I have changed the oil every 3k miles with Castrol 5w-30. The honda civic vx was only made for 3 years from 1992 to 1995. The VX still ranks in the top 10 list of most fuel efficient cars. The problem with buying a used VX is that most of the used ones for sale only get around 35 mpg. A big reason for this is that the VX's o2 sensor tends to go bad after 125k mi. A new OEM o2 sensor from the honda dealership is $350! A few other parts that can lead to bad gas mileage are the alternator distributor distributor cables and the spark plugs.My VX gets 48 mpg on the highway and 42 mpg in the city. I replaced my o2 sensor with an OEM one at 132k miles. My vx should require very little maintenance for the next 100k miles.To my knowledge the car has only been in one minor accident where the front fender was repainted. The receipt in my records says it happened in 1999 and the total repair was $471. There is some rust starting in both of the rear wheel wells. I painted over it to slow the rusting and make it look better. You can see from the pictures that on each of the rear wheel wells there is a rectangular area of mismatched paint where it looks like a previous owner had some rust repair body work done in the past. The underside of the car has been undercoated. There is some light hail damage on the car. There are a few scratches and minor dents but overall the outside of the car is in very good condition for a 20 year old car.I am selling my VX because it is a manual and I have been having some shoulder problems. It has been a very reliable and fun car to own. The transmission is still strong and it shifts in and out of each gear like it should. On the interstate at 70 mph if you take your hands off the wheel it will drive straight and not veer off to either side. The engine runs great. The AC blows cold. Everything on the car works. The only problem I can think of is that you can not lock the drivers door from the inside. It has to be locked with the key from the outside. It is a minor inconvenience. The custom front seat covers spare tire jack tool kit owners manual maintenance receipts from day 1 and spare bearings are all included.The winning bidder needs to make a $300 deposit by Paypal or Wire Transfer within 48 hours. The remainder of the sale amount is due within 7 days. I accept cash or wire transfer only for the remainder. Please only bid if you are a Serious Buyer! The winning bidder is welcome to pick the car up in person. I can pick you up from the Des Moines International Airport (DSM). The winning bidder can also ship the car but is responsible for the shipping arrangements. I can deliver the car within a 30 nautical mile radius of Des Moines to the shipper. The car needs to have been paid for in full before drop off to the shipper. Thank you for looking!
