I have a 92 Civic Si. It is red with black interior. The interior is near perfect and I really do mean near perfect. Would you consider the car to be "rare" or not? What could I do to really up the value of it? Thanx

its not really rare, but its rare to see any civic that old in good condition.. you could up the value by selling it to me..

Its not rare by any means because of all the civics around. It will sell for a little more just because your interior is perfect

well one ot the rarest civics i can think of in that year was what i used to own it was an EX-a in 94 they started to do the abs in the coupes but not very many at all had them, i had it . this means that you get stock rear disc too in a coupe. its not like a dimond or anything its still a honda but it was more rare than a civic that has near perfect int. sorry.
rare means not common. and what you described is fairly common.

Your special civic is less special then his Si....since he has what you are bragging about. and Interior>Brakes.

finding a jdm civic type r is rare....but si's are pretty common......most si's sell quick due to it having some options other civic hatch's don't get...like sunroof, abs, 4 wheel disc brakes, pwr steering, ac, etc.

no he does not have what i was "bragging" about. what i am saying is that a STOCK abs in 94 in the coupe was a rare thing. i did not say that it was rare. i said it was more rare. like has been said many times in this thread THERE ARE NO RARE CIVICS.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I don't feel special anymore :( JK. I can honestly say though, I have yet to see any civic out there with interior as perfect as this. I bought the OEM floor mats to complete the inside. I'll have to post some pictures soon.

Very nice car man. Now your car is rare. Wanna sell me the rims?! :lol:

i suppose i am. just saying in the terms of "rare" that he gives there would be a lot more rare civics in the world i am saying that its not even rare if its a stock car. do you see what i am saying now frodo?. and then to Listerman i did not say that your car was rare. your car SHOULD HAVE rear disc stock. its an ex 4door. that was the normal for those.

Listerman
04-17-2006, 10:16 PM
it wasnt normal for all ex civics to have rear disc or abs. only a few years had this stock. i didnt mean to say that after reading this thread i have come to believe my civic is rare. i have always believed its rare :P

buzzbombtom
04-17-2006, 10:47 PM
ok sorry. yeah in 94 it was pretty common for a 4dr to have abs. but only the ex-a coupe has abs in a coupe or hatch.

Listerman
04-17-2006, 10:51 PM
HA.... mines a 92! coupes werent made that year in the US! :P not a fan of coupes anyway

uhmm then your friend lies to you..... thanks to http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/used/reviews/full/index.cfm/id/2049/
like i said in 92 coupes didnt exist yet in the US!

1992-95 Honda Civic: Highlights

Restyling of Honda's front-drive subcompact for 1992 brought the demise of the prior generation's station wagon. But 2-door hatchbacks and 4-door sedans returned with a standard driver-side airbag. Sedans rode a slightly longer wheelbase than hatchbacks. A 102-horsepower, 1.5-liter 4-cylinder went into DX and LX models. The top-rung EX 4-door carried a 1.6-liter four with variable valve timing, plus antilock brakes. Other models included the base CX with a 70-horsepower, 1.5-liter four, a miserly new VX that featured a 92-horsepower engine, and a sporty Si with a higher-output 1.6-liter four and standard antilock braking.

Year-to-Year Changes
1993 Honda Civic: A notchback Civic Coupe joined the other two bodies for '93, in midrange DX and upscale EX trim, and a passenger-side airbag was available in the EX as part of an option group.

1994 Honda Civic: A passenger-side airbag went into all Civics for '94, and antilock braking became available on additional models. The LX gained 14-inch tires, while DX Civics stayed with 13-inch.

1995 Honda Civic: With a complete redesign awaiting the 1996 model year, the carryover Civics went to dealerships without further change.

i saw the production plate myself. it says 92

Listerman
04-18-2006, 07:50 PM
well then thats 1/1 92 coupe in the world he wrecked. find somewhere that tells me the coupe existed. i promise you it didnt. you can fix my car for me if you'd like cause ill take on any bet.

ok ok it could have been produced in 92 because they do make cars in 2006 that are labeled 2007 but it is not and was not considered a 1992 Honda Civic COUPE. they just dont exist

buzzbombtom
04-18-2006, 08:06 PM
you see, you just said it. it WAS made in 92.5 the production run of this car was 92 that is what the tag said on the door jam. so to my knowlage it was a 92 coupe.

Listerman
04-18-2006, 09:46 PM
alright but even you know its not considered a 92. thats like saying i own a 2006 Dodge CAliber..... except they dont exist sooo why would you say you have a 92 coupe? thats just ignorant in my opinion

NewEraImports09
04-18-2006, 09:52 PM
If my memory serves me correct Honda made 986,000 eg hatchbacks.... give or take 1k. Those that tell you how rare they are ??

buzzbombtom
04-19-2006, 12:28 AM
well i also should point out that the pink slip says 92 as well. dono what to do now? but it is what it is. lets jsut say it was an error and call it even?

Just got a '93 SI for $500 and the interior is mint with the exception of the dash it got crack in the accident.and also whoever took out the radio broke part of the dash. Is a lot easier to find a nice interior for the 5th generation Civic than to find out a nice body without any rust on the 1/4 panels.
