Well, I've been looking for a Civic to be the family car.
I was really wanting to get a 96-00 sedan. But couldn't find any, for months that were a decent price and not just roached! But I had a pretty open mind. I have always had a soft spot for the EE wagon as well. So I came upon this on CL and I'm pretty happy with it.
I think it is a DX model. It has the D15 and 4 spd auto tranny
It has pretty minimal rust on rear quarters, small dents and dings here and there, and a "minor" transmission problem(1st, 2nd, and 4th work fine. Seems to be no 3rd).
I, however have to finish the remodeling project on our house before I can even touch this thing. But that should be done late this month.
First thing I will do is maintenance/tune up. As far as the tranny, I will flush the fluid, probly a few times. I'll check all solenoids. Shifter and lock out. Check the linkage, which is probly fine. The shifter is pretty solid.
I'll see if that fixes it.
If worse comes to worse, I'll end up 5 spd swapping it, which is what I would REALLY like to do anyway. But my wife doesn't have much practice with a manual. I guess she has to sometime huh..?
Well, here are some pics.....
