1992 Honda Civic VX Hatch

[dL_evo]

The other vehicles i'm comparing it to have radios. Most old Civics here in the Bay Area do not have A/C. Our weather is not as hot as So.Cal.

I never put a radio in it because honestly, I use it to commute and the car came from the factory that way. So, that's the way I kept it.

It's a 1992 and it's really easy to convert it to a Federal model. I actually have a p07-a00 ecu to convert it to Federal spec, but I wanted to keep it original and give the next owner the option to buy the ECU from me to convert it themselves.

Yeah :/

There is somebody on CL selling his 300K miles VX for $4,000 who I suspect is flagging me every chance they get.

My asking price is not what I want for the car. I posted it high because CL people love to offer you 30%-50% less than asking.

I'm contemplating removing the OEM Civic Floormats, Blue arm rest, and cover cargo and dropping the price. Most VX's I see do not have OEM floormats, an armrest, or a cargo cover and they are asking a lot for the car with high mileage. I could of swore my car would of been a pretty quick sale.

It doesn't seem like anyone cares about those little things. I bought all of those things personally and they were all really expensive because of the rare blue interior. I spent over $400 for all three pieces. (Cargo cover I was able to find new in box though, so it carried a big premium).

It seems that most people on CL think i'm trying to get rich off this car. I literally just bought it almost 3 months ago. I fixed all the little things wrong, did all the maintenance, and added those OEM pieces. Literally like a week after I "finished" the car my work tells me they are transferring me to another office really close to my house.

Timing was just terrible because it took me forever to find a VX in this condition and took more time to do all the little things to it. Now, I don't need the car anymore. Ok i'm going to get to the point of my rant. I'm just trying to get my money that I put in it back out.

I saw a salvaged 225K Cali spec VX sell for $4,500 and it had a fat dent the size of a baseball glove on the quarter panel. So, i'm really puzzled on why mine isn't gaining traction with more serious buyers.

FYI, my car just sold in San Fran for 5300 (1995 VX), so it will sell eventually.

Its a value per dollar thing.
$5k + for that old of a car? Yes it gets 45 mpg, but the $2k premium buys a lot of gas.
I picked up a 2000 HX, 142k mi, for $2700 a few months ago. Minimally maintained, but no real issues. I avg 40.5 mpg right now.

I think $4k is closer to reality. Otherwise you'll have to wait until gas jumps back up to $4.50+/gal and then you could probably get closer to $6k! Its almost like timing the stock market.

SOLD for asking price.

Took 21 days to get my asking price.

So, I don't know what to say to you.
