48 City and 55 Hwy!

Completely Stock and well maintained original commuter car.

Also have an extra VTEC-E motor in its plastic wrapping (all but impossible to find), Original motor runs excellent. Also have two extra Federal ECU's.

A commuters dream car, Gas for a Truck/SUV is at over $5000/year and this Hatchback can hold all your tools or equipment.

Great for a work vehicle, free to drive with the 53 cents a mile writeoff!

$12,000 or trade for Honda Insight in similar condition. Seats 5.

I want $11,999 for mines so I have a better deal going. lol

He doesn't say how many miles are on it. If it had like 15K miles then it would probably be worth $10K+

I doubt it though, I'm sure it has 178K

And the VTEC-E is not "all but impossible to find" they are on ebay all the time, low miles, for under $500.

Ha ha ha ha...yeah no kidding, yours is a steal! :P

I think that VX when brand new was about 12k, so hes selling it for 12k... well at least he broke even..

SOLD








j/k:D

So all of you who have civic vx's would be willing to sell them for $1,500 or whatever they blue book value at? this guy isn't taking the money out of your bank account and leaving the car in your driveway is he?
I figure the very least that I would sell my civic vx for is $5,000 but it's not in perfect shape and I don't really want to sell it, but when I bought it I paid about 20% above blue book and gas was $1.80 a gallon and feel like I got a great deal.

It's not that I'm saying he's entitled to 'ask' whatever he wants but he's got to be crazy to think anyone is going to pay $12000.00 dollars or want to trade a Honda Insight for a VX with unknown mileage and a 'spare' engine. I bet it's got a ton of miles so he already had a spare engine in the near future.

Maybe he doesn't think anyone will pay that much. If I didn't need the money right away, I'd try it like that and see if anyone who is particularly pissed off about gas prices buys it.

Here are just a few examples of why I don't think ANYONE would pay his asking price (and the reasons I think he's nuts) when these other cars are available.
