IA help out a oldskool IA'er who's a noob

[AznTraitor]

okay, so this is my very first HONDA car....and as I bought it for the intent of a DD, I basically did little things here and there to make a decent DD, but I am not sure if I'm just the "honda" type of guy and after throwing some money at the car, I think just as fast as I got into the Honda game, I might just get out.


So IA'ers who've been here awhile or just know more about Honda's than I, what is a no BS, no thread whoring, straight up what is my car worth at this point?

I am by no means hurting for money, so I am in no hurry to sell, because I already got 2 other vehicles that can tide me over.

but anyways, here it is....help me out IA.

I bought this car pretty much BONE STOCK, minus the ebay muffler +intake that are long gone

1997 Honda Civic LX Sedan
1.6L D16Y7
5Speed
COLD A/C
140,000 actual miles

Brand new Viper Alarm
New Cluster with 56k miles

Brand new OEM style muffler

Brand new Distributor
Brand new o2 sensors
Brand new headliner (old one was sagging)
Whole car painted OEM "Cyclone (Grayish) Blue Metallic Clearcoat B-73M" by Mayfield Paint & Body in Villa Rica
Painted Mirrors
Painted Sidemoldings

I also have 10k HID that I bought from Nitro, but did not install...just went another route, and got those Euro Phillip Xtreme bulbs

*the reason for the new o2 sensors and distributor was chasing down a bucking/surging problem and turned out to be a bad ground :slaps forehead:

the car runs and drives great, I've seafoamed and cleaned up the interior....just making it a nice DD for my highway commute.


To rate the car:
Exterior: 8.5 out of 10
Interior: 8 out of 10 (for a car of this age, it's damn nice)
Motor: 8 out of 10? my first Honda, but it gets good gas mileage and quiet
Wheels/Tires: 10 out of 10, bought brand new, no curb rash, no uneven tire wear, no scratches on wheels at all! Tires have roughly 5k miles on them


the only bad...the passenger side locks are really weak? they do not go down all the way on their own, but I just push them down...probably a simple fix that doesn't bother me that much....the passenger rear window does not roll down...haven't had a time to look at it...but doesn't bother me since the A/C blows ice cold

I've been on IA for quite sometime, and most know that in the past I was a anti honda person, but as gas prices rose, I had to get something dependable and good on gas, so this was my choice and I basically did what I thought would make the car look better and a nice DD
