2004 Honda Civic HYBRID 5speed - I will sell to the first person with $1,500 cash in hand. The car is in Novato California, a 1/2 hour North of San Francisco.


I've owned this 2004 Civic Hybrid 2 years and am only the second owner. I just bought an all electric vehicle, so this one needs a new home.


The GOOD:
-- It has gotten over 40mpg for the last 20,000 miles I've driven.
-- It is a hybrid so never needs to be smogged.
-- It has a 5 speed MANUAL transmission, not the CVT automatic that has issues.
-- I installed a "calpod mod" switch (see ecomodder.com or insightcentral.net) already to manually control the charging/discharging of the hybrid battery.
-- It has a grey leather interior, the only Civic Hybrid I've seen with this option.


The BAD:
-- The hybrid battery is out of balance so the IMA light is on. I've been driving it this way using the "calpod mod" switch for the last 2 years. Replacement battery packs and individual battery sticks are both available on eBay for knowledgeable DIYers. It doesn't need smogging so no DMV issues.
-- The clutch is weak. It is drivable like this, but should be replaced soon. Don't expect to race up hills.
-- The front tires should be replaced soon.
-- The front brake pads should be replaced at some point, but it currently stops fine.
-- The car has some dings/scrapes from parking in SF, but no real dents.
-- The stitching on the top of the back seat is starting to split and needs resewing.


I can't find the title after we moved, but will go to the Novato DMV with you if you want. Otherwise I will give you the proper transfer document and bill of sale so you won't have a problem. I put it on non-op last month when the registration ran out so I know no fees are due.

I want $1500 cash, which is a good deal if you know these cars and how to fix them.
