1992 Honda Civic VX For Sale - Miami, FL
 

Sold!!

1992 Honda Civic VX

Sold!!

The good:
It's a VX!
Florida car!
No CEL, newer 5 wire O2 sensor
Tons of new parts within the last 25k miles
Runs, drives, and shifts smooth, falls into lean burn nicely
Tracks straight, doesn't pull
It’s turnkey, just get in and drive!
Bulletproof reliable, and if it does break parts are cheap
A/C works, heat works
Cheap insurance and registration, in FL at least
Rare car, Canadian built, factory fogs, factory mud flaps
Alpine Stereo, iPod hookup in glovebox, and 8" bandpass box along with new Pyle speakers, sounds great!
Wolo horn, so much louder!
Rubber mats
Slightly lowered

The bad:
True mileage is unknown, approximately 400K+ would be my guess. Odometer reads 231K, I have the Autocheck that shows 347k miles in 2007. I've had it since 2012.
Paint is faded
Driver’s side door has a dent in the lower front, closes fine, doesn’t leak
Accident in August 2014 (only accident ever, it was repaired properly)
Red plastidip hood
Rear defrost doesn’t work
Surface rust around fuel door and along rear edge or roof
CD player doesn’t work
IACV cold use another cleaning, or just some good highway miles.

Overall this is a very nice little commuter. It has taken me to work and back flawlessly for 2+ years, as well as a trip to Wisconsin and back.
Is it perfect, nope. What $2800 car is? Is it nicer and less rusty than most VX's, yep.

If you are curious about the accident, I can provide pictures and an explanation as well. I’ve driven it 5k miles since I fixed it and it’s been perfect. Again, it was repaired right. It needs nothing to be daily driven right now. I’d trust driving it anywhere!

Reason for sale, wife and I need a small SUV or a wagon with an automatic so she can drive it.

Price is obo! Open to offers!

Interesting. I have never seen a VX with a normal VTEC valve cover. All the ones I have seen say VTEC-E. Are you sure that's the D15Z1 engine?

I thought the VTEC-E valve covers were only on the 93 - 95 model year engines.

Thanks OBD1Kenobi, that was my understanding too, that 93-95 had the "VTEC-E" valve cover. It has the 5 wire O2 and falls into lean burn. Nothing about it leads me to believe is isn't the D15Z1, but I'd be happy to take any close-up pics you might be interested in seeing.

Thanks guys, I guess I learned something today!

Price lowered, $2500 obo

Bump

does it still count miles on the speedometer? is there any major issues?
also has the motor had any work done to it? or it just running nice and pretty at 400k miles?

Cluster works fine, all of the gauges are working great along with the speedometer and odometer. No major issues at all.

Had the valve cover off a little under a year ago to perform a valve adjustment and the valvetrain looked amazing for the mileage. Car doesn't smoke. It runs great. No major engine work to my knowledge.

The valve train as of 5/2014 when the valve adjustment was performed.

wow it does look clean for a known 350k+ mileage!! I have a 91 civic hatchback with a d15b2 just all stock. I have been wanting a vx for sometime im just a tad skeptical with this one cause of the mileage. the only reason I would purchase would be for the drivetrain cause of the mpg. I wish we lived closer so I could see it in person! but I will be in touch. ill have to figure out how to pm so we can exchange numbers.

That Autocheck mileage could be wrong. I've seen mileage records that made no sense in Autocheck and Carfax reports.

well I would love to see it, if I can im gonna take a vacation to Miami here soon hopefully. may just drive it back if you still have it. unless you would meet.

This is true. I've seen that before. Places like Jiffy Lube can add "service notes" now. If the tech enters the wrong mileage, it will be reported on the Carfax. If it goes unoticed the report will be screwy.

My title just reads exempt now. I'll provide the Autocheck to anyone interested.

Gotcha. Don't really want to meet cause I'd need to get back home.

I have the car advertised on Craigslist locally. I've gotten some pretty good feedback, but no takers yet. Just a matter of time, no real rush.

Bump! Getting a lot of local interest now. Showed it today, but the buyer had no idea what a VX was.

Proof that it was fixed right... I didn't just bend the old core support back into place. I bought a new support and had it spot welded.

*Note* The frame rails were inspected and were not bent or damaged!!!

Here you can see why the hood needed to be replaced. It's platidipped red, but could use a thicker coat, it has started to peel. Otherwise, just get it painted Milano..

And, proof that it will clean up nicely... This is right after a buff and seal...

that's a shame the guy didn't even know what vx is. ive been searching across the country from them. I hope you get a good deal! wish I lived closer & id take it off your hands cause I want one bad!!

Thanks! I kinda wish it would sell. A car just popped up that I'd love to buy... That's always how it works... Lol

Well if it doesn't in a week or so. I may make a trip, but that would be a 9hour trip & me banking on everything you say being true and it being able to drive back the 9 hours !

:thumbup:
I'm hoping it's gone by then. But it would have no problem making that trip. I've driven it much further in one shot with just gas stops.

Price lowered to $2400 obo....

Sold!!
