Possibly the best Craigs List car 4 sale post ever!

1997 Honda Civic.
Four cylinders.
Two doors.
Five speeds.
100% class.

By purchasing this car, you aren't buying a car as much as you are buying peace-of-mind. despite having just over 200000 miles, it starts every time you turn the key and runs like a scalded cat. I am the third owner, and most (170000) of the miles were put on by the second owner. He is a teacher and most of the miles were accumulated while commuting to and from school, in which to nourish young minds. We should all take time to thank a teacher. The tires have about 20000 miles on them and are in great shape. The clutch and brakes are new. They were replaced due to normal wear and tear and the oil is changed regularly, because you have to do these kind of things on any car, especially a car with high miles. (Car ownership 101 stuff here). I have only washed it twice because I think its a waste of money and water, both of which are becoming more and more scarce, but when I did wash it, she cleaned up like a polished turd. It has a few door dings, but that's what happens to cars, especially in Southern California, where most people can't be bothered with silly things like common courtesy or respect for other peoples property.

More importantly, you aren't buying someone else's headache. It does not have a fart can or neon lights. It has never been lowered or had a stupid fin attached to the trunk. It has never been raced or featured in any movie starring Vin Diesel. It is a mild-mannered Civic that will provide many years of reliable transportation for a lucky person or persons. It would also make a great first car for your teenager. Hopefully they don't ruin it with a bunch of unnecessary bolt-on parts from Auto Zone or the local swap-meet.

Shoot me an e-mail if you are interested. Make me a reasonable offer. Buy my car. Make it yours. If you buy it for your teenager, make them promise not to ruin it. No girl wants to lose their virginity on Prom night in the back seat of a Fast And Furious reject.
