40K miles!

[Nurega]

I was going through some Ebay classifieds and found this beauty.

A 92 LX with 40K miles. 40,000!! That's incredible for anything 17 years old. Someone should go out and pick this up right away!

nice find...wonder how much it'll fo for.

to bad its a 4dr, auto and not an ex

Unless it's been sitting undriven since 1997... then it's probably in worse condition than a regularly driven car with 200k on it. The front bumper was either hit, or removed and replaced poorly... it's not attached properly on the passenger side.

I agree with Deev.

The downside to cars like this is that they either havent been driven often or when they were driven it was low-speed, city driving and it didnt see alot of heat cycles.

Motor probably needs a few seals, or will eventually. Good find though.

Unless that's what the "major dealer service" mentioned was.

The bumper still concerns me, though.



I don't mind the automatic, nor the 4 door... but that winestain interior is horrid. I NEVER liked that color!

That dashmat is rad!

I've had 4 accords, three of them had the ron burgundy interior, including my current one

I personally find the maroon quite dashing.

But yes, most people I give rides to seem to find my CB's "burgundy velour" seating a little off-putting.

I was actually in one car with that interior that was beautiful... looked brand new. (jeesare was the username... first 5 lug I ever saw up close, too)

But overall... bleh. Gimme a gray interior!

Mmm, the front and rear bumper molding's have been painted, but not the side molding's .

He averaged roughly 2,350 miles yearly, pretty cool. Wait... Deev, don't you put out that on the Fit about every two weeks ?

6.4 miles a day.

Yeah... probably more! The Fit has 96,500 on it right now. Dangerously close to an expired warranty. I need to get it into Honda for a checkup before it's done!


And yeah... something isn't being told about this car. That front end isn't right.

why is the front and rear bumper, and side skirts painted?

[civic_90_08]

More then likely it was hit in the front and rear. Someone didnt want to pay to have it fixed and it sat on its ass most of its life.

Then someone got the bright idea to finally fix it and then sell it for way more then its really worth.

Hows that sound?

A body guy / detailer could pick up a car that's been sitting with minor damage for years, fix it up to look really nice to the untrained eye, and sell it for a nice chunk of change with low miles.

I bet this thing sells for $4500. I bet it's worth $1500, with $500 worth of crappy body work put into it.


And is that dash blanket protecting the dash, or covering a damaged dash?



The hood is original, though.
