1995 Honda Civic Ex Sedan 4-door 1.6l on 2040-cars

Year:1995 Mileage:177801 Color: is black and the interior is gray
Location:

United States

United States

Please note, this vehicle is being sold AS-IS. The mileage in the photo (177,801) is the actual mileage as of today (4/20/2014), but I will be driving this car in-town until it is sold.


I am selling my 1995 Honda Civic EX which has 177,801 miles on the engine and still runs great. This car has automatic transmission and an automatic sunroof. The exterior is black and the interior is gray. I bought this car in 2008 and it has been my daily driver ever since. It has been a very sturdy vehicle and I have never had to do any serious repairs on it.

The car starts without problem. I did not have any issues starting it through the cold winter. This would be the perfect car for somebody who is looking for something cheap and reliable, but it does have some minor issues. Please see below for details.


Issues:

  • Engine has leaked oil for several years. I check the levels frequently and refill every month or so. The issue has been consistent and has not increased. I do not know what the cause is, and I have had no other issues with the engine.
  • A hole has started to rot through under the carpet on the driver's side. See picture to get an idea of how big it is. It would be a good idea to replace the floorboard.
  • There is a slight alignment issue; if you hold the steering wheel completely straight the car veers slightly to the right. 
  • The ABS light comes on, though I have not had any issues with the brakes.
  • The air conditioning blows warm.
  • The driver's side window does not roll down. It occasionally shifts down by itself so the window is open about an inch. I always push it back up with my hands.
  • The rear door on the passenger's side does not open from the outside.
  • There are a few small cigarette burns on the backseat and a few under the floormat on the driver's side. This car has not been smoked in for over two years, so I do not believe there to be any smoke smell.
  • The carpet has some burns and stains. There are spots where the carpet is worn and discolored.
  • There are no rear speakers.
  • There is some rust on the outside, and the paint is in poor condition. See pictures for details.


Repairs:

  • Muffler replaced last year
  • Brake Master Cylinder replaced about 3 years ago

  • The hood latch is broken. My mechanic rigged it to open from the outside - there is a small latch near the hood that opens it.

Honda recalling 871,000 SUVs and minivans over rollaway fear

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

Honda is recalling 871,000 SUVs and minivans for an issue in which the vehicles may roll away after the key has been removed from the ignition. Ninety-two percent of the recalled vehicles, or 807,000 vehicles, are in the US. According to a report from Reuters, the effected vehicles include certain numbers of the Honda Odyssey and Pilot, as well as the Acura MDX. Here are the recall figures:
2003-2004 Honda Odyssey: 318,000 vehicles
2003-2004 Honda Pilot: 259,000 vehicles

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.

Honda Fit, Vezel Hybrids recalled in Japan; US vehicles not affected

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Honda has announced a good-sized recall of two popular Japanese-market hybrids: the Fit Hybrid and the Vezel Hybrid are both headed back into the garage. The problem this time around lies in the software program that controls the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) that could "cause a delay in the ability to begin driving or the inability to move at all." In total, 81,353 units are affected (70,929 Fit Hybrids and 10,424 Vezel Hybrids) and all were made in Japan between July 2013 and February 2014. There were two previous recalls for the new Fit Hybrid's DCT, and you can find the details of them below. Jessica Fini, assistant manager of PR for Honda North America, told AutoblogGreen that this recall will not have any impact on US Honda vehicles. For one thing, the US Fit has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) instead of a DCT, so the upcoming launch of the new Fit here (the US doesn't get the Fit Hybrid) will not be delayed. Honda's upcoming small SUV in the US (based on the Vezel, but will arrive with a different name) isn't going to launch here until the end of the year, so there is time to fix any problems before launch. She also said that the Acura RLX, despite being a DCT, does not use the same transmission as the Fit Hybrid does, since the Fit transmission is specific to the one-motor hybrid system and the RLX uses three electric motors. Recall of All-New Fit Hybrid and Vezel Hybrid ref. # C14-009 TOKYO -- February 10, 2014 – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced a voluntary recall of the all-new Fit Hybrid and Vezel Hybrid produced in Japan from July 2013 through February 2014 due to a problem with the software program controlling the 7-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) which could cause a delay in the ability to begin driving or the inability to move at all. Honda today notified the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of the recall with a total recall population of 81,353 units. Honda conducted two recalls in October and December 2013 due to a defect with the software program controlling the 7-speed DCT which could have caused a delay in the ability to drive the vehicle or the inability to drive. This will be the third recall related to the defect of the 7-speed DCT.
