However, it came with a bad fender, the outside driver's door lock broke, the engine started misfiring, and I guess that the last quick lube place stripped the oil pan. However, before purchasing the car, I had a mechanic look at it. Business was so slow that there were five technicians under it and everybody told me that it was in amazing shape. I had expected to pay more, but I guess that I am already in the process.

I did not see too many old listings for HXs, although this current one looks better:

Clean Title 1998 Honda Civic
That hx looks well priced at $3,000
