1995 Civic VX l Milano Red l 97k miles l 2nd owner
 
I am putting my 1995 Honda Civic VX hatchback up for sale. I purchased this car from the original owner who was an older gentleman. The car holds a clean, California title. The VX model is special due to a number of reasons including but, not limited to, it's amazing MPG numbers, special VTEC-E motor, lightweight Enkei wheels, aluminum A/C and alternator brackets. The previous owner kept up with the maintenance and I have a bunch of records placed in an organized binder to show that. I even have the original title for the car that shows 3 miles. This car is 100% original minus the stereo and speakers being replaced. It still has the sticker on the front windshield from the dealership back in 1995! During my ownership, I took the liberty of replacing a plethora of parts on the car just to freshen up the car and make sure everything was in top shape. A list of parts that I replaced is depicted below:

NEW PARTS:
Clutch
Clutch master/slave cylinder
Alternator belt
Fuel filter
Valve cover gasket
Camshaft seal
Crankshaft seal
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Tires have less than 7,000 miles on them
Rear main seal
EGR valve
Water pump
Timing belt

Note: All these parts have less than 6,000 miles on them.

A few details about the car:

Exterior - original Milano Red tri-coat is still in great condition. The car could use a detail to bring back the full shine but, the paint looks very nice as is. The car does have small nicks and dents here and there being that it is a 1995 car. The tires are in great shape as well and have 80% tread left. The wheels are original to the car.

Engine - the engine and transmission have both only turned over 104,xxx miles. This is pretty low for a car from 1995 and especially a car built for commuting like the VX. The engine is in great shape and operates with no noises or hesitation. I drove the car from Los Angeles to Fresno and back with zero issues. I have never experienced any sort of problems with this engine.

Transmission - the transmission is in excellent condition and shifts very smoothly throughout all the gears. The car engages in all the gears and does not grind or pop out whatsoever. The long gearing makes for awesome mpg on the freeway.

Interior - the interior is 100% original minus the stereo and speakers as I previously mentioned. The carpet is in excellent condition although the floor mats could use some cleaning. The floor mats are also original to the car. The front driver's seat has some expected wear marks from getting in and out. The rest of the interior is in great shape. The only other issue is the cupholder being broken. (If you know 92-95 Civic hatchbacks you know these are always broken).

Miscellaneous -
The car is equipped with optional A/C. This definitely comes in handy during hot weather. The A/C blows ice cold and works great. Car is also equipped with alarm.

The only issue with this car is that the compressor bearing makes a whirring noise which I have discussed with my mechanic. The A/C functions perfectly and his advice was replace it when you can't stand the noise anymore. It has no effect on the A/C's functionability.

Make: Honda
Model: Civic VX
Year: 1995
Transmission: 5 speed manual
Engine: 1.5L VTEC-E
Title: Clean, CA
Asking price: $5,200 obo

I'm sorry if the ad is not perfect or seems sloppy. There is just way too much to describe in a ad (and I doubt everyone reads every word of the ad) i'd rather that potential buyers just come and check out the car in person. I have a binder full of maintenance records to show you as well as the original title and current title, etc. If I had to nit pick every single "problem" with this car...currently the passenger side mirror glass is broken (neighbor thought it's acceptable to break it because I parked in front of his house)...the whole mirror is there minus the glass, IAC valve is dirty (idle sits low sometimes), A/C tensioner bearing is making noise (when A/C is turned on the noise stops and I spoke to my mechanic and he said this is one of those problems more or less that just annoys you till you change it to keep yourself from going insane) and that's it. ALSO, the paint was unfortunately not looked after by the first owners and can definitely use a professional detail although I did a pass over it with some wax and it improved A LOT. So if you're not OCD about the paint a few weekends of detailing will definitely bring the shine back (it's already shiny just can be better). I just want to be honest.

Back up for sale.

California98Civic 06-01-2013 09:18 AM

Does it have the CA spec ECU or the Fed spec ECU? It makes a difference as to whether it is capable of lean burn. Seems like it's original purchase was in Cali, no?

MilanoVX 06-01-2013 01:19 PM

It's a CA spec car. I know converting is possible I never bothered.

MilanoVX 06-15-2013 05:18 AM

Still for sale...just hit 98,6xx miles.

MilanoVX 09-08-2013 02:53 PM

92vxhatchguy 10-24-2013 12:50 AM

I miss my VX. I'd hold onto it if I were you, but if you get what you're asking for in price, then kudos. Did I forget to mention I miss my VX? LOL.

Haha, just basing the price off what I saw other's sell theirs for in similar (but worse) condition. I'm probably going to just keep it. I know I will regret selling it the moment that I do regardless of the price just because of what the car is..these hatchbacks are honestly one of the roomiest cars I have ever owned/sat in/driven and they are very compact at the same time.

seantobin5 10-24-2013 10:58 AM

I would totally buy that if I had the money. But I have a 98 Civic HX now in milano red. Great car though! It's great to see a VX in such great shape.

I sold mine 3 years ago. I regretted letting it go ever since. It was white, completely stock aside from an aftermarket headunit and held a clean title. I currently have a 93 Si Hatchback now as my daily driver. You're right, they're very roomy for being such a small car.

seantobin5 10-24-2013 09:00 PM

You should really keep that car. It's in such great shape, cosmetically and mechanically. Plus it will be a hard find in the future because every VX I see today is riced out or in such bad shape. Yours is really an exception.

92vxhatchguy 10-24-2013 10:16 PM

If I had the cash and a need for another civic, then i'm all over it! Plus you're not too far from me. Burbank is about an hour from where I'm at....

MilanoVX 10-24-2013 11:41 PM

Yeah, as of late, the more I have been driving the car, the more I want to keep it rather than sell it. Literally ALL the maintenance has been done and whatever needed to be refreshed was refreshed when I bought the car. The timing belt only had like 15k on it but, I changed it out again just because when I had the water pump replaced (bought the car knowing the water pump leaked slightly). All is well now..14,000 miles later and it still runs like a champ!

92vxhatchguy 10-29-2013 02:14 PM

Keep it! LOL

Technically yes but, it's not for sale as of right now unless you happen to have a S14 Kouki that you'd trade for it.

Not sure what your experience has been like trying to sell, but I used to own a 1992 VX and have regretted selling it years ago. I'd love to have this one. Looks very well kept. I will fly out and drive back to utah. Let me know if you are still looking to sell. Thanks
