As I originally posted ... someone that wants to commue every day and needs a "RELIABLE" DD that gets good gas mileage will not want a swapped civic with a MANUAL TRANNY that hs been fucked with. Im sure the car he is selling is very good looking and probably drives great, but from a fuel mileage / reliability / sitting in traffic for an hour and shifting standpoint. Ill get someone that cares about the points im trying to make. Im not at all trying to sound like a jerk but...look at it from my POV.
a person thats looking for a good DD is obviously a racer who needs the dependability of a non modified car,,,BUT a person with such a task at hand is not gonna spend 4800 on a car like yours, when newer (fairly equal when it comes to reliability) cars go for either less or the same....for example i have a friend who is trying to sell his 98 ek coupe automatic on this site which just hit 100k and purrs like a kitten for half the price of yours...look up the value of what you have or atleast the genre of people you should be advertising too ,to try to establish a sale or atleast a proper going rate.....
