The clean stock ones are what they pray on around here.

 

I remember this car from a few years ago on Honda-tech.

 

Yeah, I tend to stay away from Honda-Tech... car was seriously flamed and not believed to be authentic by a major majority of people on there...

 

Ming blown at 8k miles.. Are you keeping it?

 

Dude thats one clean Civic.
And that Mileage is unreal!
I wish I could find something this cool over in my state.
I havent met a Civic owner who thinks the stock, clean look is nice.
Except for my friend, but I taught him all he knows about cars.
Dont think it counts...
Anyway congrats on having such a nice car!
Im jelly.

 

keep her low miles!

 

that mileage is insane! keep that around for a few years and congrats on the find!

 

i recall you posting photos or a for sale thread on honda tech a few years back. that si is by far in immaculate condition.

I always wanted one of those back in the day too.... make sure to keep it safe that is by far one of the most stolen hondas around.

 

Only 8k miles is nuts, so clean!! I would love that thing as a DD...Some Honda lovers would give you big $$ for that car...

 

I've had a few offers over on the 8th Gen Civic forum for the car... but the offers are what the dealer was selling the car for 3yrs ago...

The only reason I would want to sell it, is that if it ever got stolen, damaged or totaled in an accident, the insurance company would never give me anywhere near close to what the car is truly worth. I'd probably get a check for like 6-7 grand if the car got totaled out. When I can actually sell this car for more than I paid and put into it, I'd consider selling it... I just don't drive it that often for fear of something happening to it... I don't have the fear of theft, because this is a VERY uncommon car in my neighborhood, and no one knows what the car even is...

The car is a blast to look at and reflect, because the condition of it is so rare... it's just as fun to drive as well. A true time piece into the past... it's neat.

 

is this up for sale?

 

Why would anyone baby a civic, I guess that's why people had a hard time believing the mileage. I myself am skeptical if it's legit. But if it is, then like I said..why? lol

 

I "baby" all my cars. To the point of keeping them clean and detailed, whether it's my Civic, Evo or my DD, an SVT Focus, I keep them all clean and well maintained. I'm just a firm believer of having a well presented automobile. IMO it helps with resale values as well, to purchase a car from an owner who takes car of his/her automobile.

The Civic is clean but far from perfect. The previous owners drove this car and didn't treat it in any special way. Scuffs and scratches in various interior and exterior parts of the car. I've detailed the car and simply used it to drive a manual transmission.

I've contemplated selling it, but have no idea what it's worth is. To a Honda enthusiast it's the holy grail... To me, it's just a nice, clean economy car. It is a fun car, I compare it's enjoyment with my SVT Focus that I DD...

 

I grew up in Virginia, MN and at one point owned an EM1 Si (Flamenco Black Pearl). Never thought I'd see one that far north. Have you always lived there? Wondering if I know you.

 

Always wanted one of those many years back, but wouldn't dare to buy one. They are theft magnets here in the Tri State area. Great job on keeping it clean and original.
