I also have a Federal p07-a00 ECU if anyone wants it.

Details on the car:
I have a 1992 Honda Civic VX Hatchback California Edition for sale. It took me 9 months to find this car in the condition I wanted and now I'm selling it because my commute has unexpectedly changed. I have four vehicles including this one and I no longer need to commute a far distance to work. For those who have are interested in saving gas, but don't want to compromise driving experience this car is for you. It's much more fun to drive than a hybrid and gets the same MPG. One thing nice about a 1992 vs. 1993-1995 California edition is that this car is pre-wired to convert to a Federal model. The only thing you would need to do is source a Federal model ECU. The other years were not pre-wired to convert to a Federal model. By doing this you would instantly gain 5+mpg, I never did it because I wanted to keep the car original. Reasons that my car differs from other VX hatchbacks I've looked at: 1) The car was not molested by some teen or backyard mechanic. 2) It's completely original down to the factory radio block off plate and no speakers. 3) The body is straight and very clean overall for a car of its age. 4) Paint is still very good. 5) Vehicle has very low mileage for the age. 6) Optioned with very RARE OEM options. Please look at details and pictures below to find out. Below are some details about the car: 1992 Honda Civic VX Hatchback Frost White 125,562 Miles (Will continue to go up as I'm still driving the car from time to time) Clean Title Clean Carfax (I can provide the report if you email me) No accidents Never stolen Original blue interior Original VX Aluminum wheels No Air Conditioning No Power Windows No Power Steering No Power Locks 45MPG Mixed driving Smogged and pink slip in hand. Adult driven, adult Maintained, and never raced/modified/abused. Factory Options: (I have never seen another Civic VX with blue interior with the first three options on one car, it's very rare) Blue OEM Fabric Top Arm Rest Blue OEM Civic Floor Mats Blue Cargo Cover Digital Clock from 92-95 Civic Recent Maintenance: Oil Change Changed plugs to Factory Honda ZFR4F-11 Spark Plugs Corrected ignition timing Replaced Air Filter Things I've fixed after acquiring the car: Driver side door lock latch was broken (I sourced a OEM blue lock knob and replaced it) Driver side mirror was working, but had a small hole in the front of it from a rock. (I found a good unit and replaced it with the same OEM part) Missing rear emblem on the tailgate. I just bought a OEM emblem from Honda and put it on. The pictures show that it's missing. But, it's been put on. :) Bad: Front bumper has been repainted at some point. I'm not exactly sure why, however I don't think the car has been in any accidents because the radiator support is original and straight. 3 dings on the passenger side of the car. It's very minor, but I thought I should point it out. Please view pictures in the link below to see the dings. My asking price is $5,500 OBO. I'm flexible on the price, throw me an offer the worst I can say is no :). CARFAX report is available on request. PM me if you're interested. Leave a phone number if you're really interested. |
Taking offers.

Asking $5250

Have you tried Ebay? the only time I've seen a VX sell for more then $3,500 is on Ebay, same car otherwise seems to sit on Craigslist for months.
|
it's a real nice car you have there. problem is most people just aren't in the market for a $5000 car that is that old. They don't see the value because they dont think it's different from any other car. On ebay, you'll have the whole country looking at it, so a few people who really want it, will bid the price up. it's a win win :thumbup: until ebay takes it's cut. But you'll probably still end up with more money than selling locally. I'd buy it right now if I had the money...

eBay is a last resort. Their fees suck |
your ad says it was flagged for removal? maybe thats why it's not selling.

It is beautiful. I hope you can sell it soon and at a satisfying price. But I see three factors that would weaken sales. One is that it's the California version, which means no lean burn. People looking for a VX who know about its FE capabilities will realize that this car is very good but not the full legend, so they may keep looking. Second, it has no radio or speakers. Most people really require a radio, and so in their heads they add the price of one to your selling price. Or else, some may be willing to take a less clean car at a comparable or even slightly higher price, if it will provide some entertainment on the road. Lastly, it has no air conditioning, which does not matter to me, but will to many other potential buyers. Do the other vehicles you are comparing with have any or all of these features?

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. |

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. |

Your add us gone. If you ld like to sell the armrest you speak of let me know. Pm me might want the mats also.
|
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.

Still have Honda Civic VX hatch back?
Greetings from Northern California. I son is in college in Eureka/Arcata CA and his car was stolen on New Years eve or early in the morning on New years day, so dad is looking for another vehicle that is economical to operate and in good condition (hopefully, that we can afford) to keep him in wheels. Might you still be interested in selling your very nice vehicle?
