I have a 1998 Civic CX, so manual steering, 5 speed. It's factory purple and ugly, and the input shaft bearing is noisy like all old hondas. But it drives half decent. $500 if you are around...

If you are looking for an Insight in AZ, see if any of the ADESA or Manheim auctions there have public auctions. In some states they do. These cars sell for nothing at auctions, people don't know...

Now that the exchange rate here against the US dollar has pretty much drained all the cars from Canada, there hasn't been too much to see here lately. There was a super clean '93 Metro 1.0L with 130k...

I totally agree. That's why I had started stockpiling old eco cars here. But reality is there is no demand for them here, and the expense to send them anywhere else makes it a waste of time on my...

NSF Anywhere! Don't Watch! Eco-ride dating advice.

OK I warned you, though I dig this so much that it's worth the grief. My well off pal with all the swanky cars doesn't get why rolling a $100k car on a first date can yield poor results, where as the...

Mazdas aren't my thing. I have an '86 323 sport wagon in the fleet that's kinda neat, but even that doesn't really float my boat. And I dig wagons. But this is probably one of the coolest old eco-ish...

This showed up today, it's a charity donation car. '86 Civic, 1.3L, 5 speed with 286k KMs (177k miles). Too bad it's pretty rotten on the 1/4's, it will probably go for scrap. If you are reading this...
