Hey all, my 95 Civic DX with an automatic transmission and stock motor got totalled about a month ago. It gave me a great 100K trouble-free miles for seven years and I was about to reward it with some nice 16 in. rims when I got clipped in the rear quarter by some idiot. I got an older Civic from a dealer with my insurance check, a 93 Civic EX with over 120K miles for $5500 but it's in great shape and it came with a 3 month/3K mile warranty. It's a five speed with a 1.6L engine but not VTech though. Maybe I'm imagining but this one seems to rev or sound more throaty than the ones I've test drove with the VTechs (maybe it's the exhaust). I bought it from a dealer who specializes in selling used Hondas only and reconditions them and it has all new belts, timing belt, seals, and other parts which normally wear at 100K miles. It's fully re-detailed, including the interior and engine bay. It's white with a tan interior, which I find a strange combination (usually I see tan interior with black exteriors and grey interiors with white exteriors). I believe it just needs an alignment with the new tires the dealer gave me and he owes me the plastic inner wheel well on the front driver side (slight oversight on my part). I also need to upgrade the sound system, stock stereo cassette with two front speakers only. I spent a month looking for a white 93-95 Civic EX coupe and what's funny is when I bought this one, which was the first white one I came across after a month, I saw a few more white EX's pop up in the ads later, including a 95 EX Coupe at another dealer with less miles (114K, mine has 122K) with grey interior which was selling for $1K less than what I paid for mine ($4500, sounds like a deal huh? paid $5500 for mine)! Such is life, don't know about you guys but always seems to happen to me. But I look forward to an enjoyable experience with my "new" 93. I'll be posting pics soon. I know this message is long already, but if you have any comments on the deal I got (good or bad), considering it came from a dealer, let me know. Thanks.
