07 Civic $1k

Honestly, I'm not shopping...



$1k asking price for 368k kms = 229k mi

Wonder what's up with the AC - it seems to be a common busted item on this generation of Civic.

Description

Runs great. Manual transmission. Being sold AS IS with winter tires only (on the car). Passenger side front window, AC and CD player do not work, dent on driver side rear bumper. $1000 or best offer.

Hondarust included! (I've actually seen a couple of this generation of Civic with the rear rockers completely blown open with rust.)

I have a soft spot for this gen Civic. It's the same year & trim that I had - and that car was the most "grown-up/normal" car I've ever owned.

But honestly, I'm not shopping (though I still haven't cancelled my email alert). Just posting this for entertainment value. As I said before, cheap Mirages mean no more winter beater roulette for me.
