    Selling my yellow car as we aren't driving it anymore.

    Mileage: 169k

    Purchased the car in 2005 with 130k miles on it.

    Servicing done (at 130k)

    * Timing belt
    * Water pump
    * Rear main seal
    * Fuel filter
    * Plugs
    * Wires
    * PCV
    * Distributor cap/rotor button
    * New clutch
    * New radiator
    * New front brakes - Hawk HP Plus
    * New front rotors
    * New rear shoes
    * New rear wheel cylinders
    * Brake fluid flushed
    

    The bad:

    * Car has typical Honda rust on the rear quarter panels and bubbles on the sunroof.
    * As far as I know the rockers are clean. (I am not 100% sure though.)
    * The heater does not work, we suspect it is a bad heater core. I think we have a heater core sitting in the garage that goes with the car.
    * Heater panel was replaced with one from an EG Civic.
    * Engine burns oil, and its probably time to rebuild it.
    * Car overheated a few months back, could be a thermostat issue but we didn't explore it further and parked it as the weather was getting colder.
    * Exhaust has a hole near the elbow on the rear axle.  (Muffler is brand new though.)
    

    The good:

    * Aside from the EG heater panel the interior is in immaculate shape.
    * We have a newer driver's seat in the basement that can go with the car. (I would like to keep the worn seat for my red 88)  You could probably sell most of the interior for a pretty penny.
    * I also have brand new driver's side door moldings (all three) that aren't installed.
    * Interior is complete with unmolested cargo cover and everything else.
    

    Asking $1000 (or best offer), please take this car away. We really have no use for it and no desire to work on it. Would make a perfect candidate for an STS car or ITA car or even a Lemons or GRM Challenge car.

    Car has brand new tires on it that were installed this summer. If you do not want the wheels and tires on the car I can put the steel wheels and useless tires from the Civic and lower the asking price to $850 or best offer.

    I perused EBay and here is what you could get for most of the interior

    Cargo cover - between $60 and $75 Seats - between $130 and $200 for a pair ($130 was E36 M3ty looking and $200 was ok, the ones on yellow are in near perfect shape) Door panels - between $80 and $150 for a pair ($40 or so each for ugly ones. My drivers side one is ugly but the passenger is pristine) Complete sunroof assembly $200

    So those four items right there is $550+.

    Car is located in Carlisle, PA but it could be brought back to Morgantown, WV if you are near this area.
