After a week of title-stress [ owner had requested a duplicate title because he couldn’t find the original, then found the original and that’s what I took to the NYS DMV, where they told me I had to wait for the duplicate ] I finally was able to register & plate the car on Friday.
She’s a 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe, with the 4spd Autotragic in some grey color with a few dings, dents and love taps. The interior’s in pretty great shape, minus the door card on the drivers door coming off. Nothing superglue wouldn’t fix.
As she sits now, there’s 101410 or so miles on it. Needs an oil change, but the airbag recall’s been done, alone with the timing belt. Tires have under 10k on them, and brakes were done at 90k miles, along with tranny fluid.
There’s a little bit of rust in the trunk near the spare (the spare has NEVER been used), but it looks superficial. From what I can tell, the weatherstripping along the trunk needs to be replaced. No biggie. And then I’ll grind down the rust. Needs a new jack for the same reason.
Edit: Today I took some mcguires headlight cleaner and now the headlights look significantly better.
So, without further ado. Pictures;

That’s a solid buy in NY for $2k

Thanks! Yeah, I hopped on it as soon as I could. The owner was a nice guy from Long Island, who was looking for the car to go to someone who appreciated it. He just had a kid, so bought a new Subaru and this just took up room in the driveway.

Quite a roller coaster of cars in the past couple years.
What I really need to know is why so many Civics of that generation are painted that specific color. I have old coworkers and friends that have various versions of that body style Civic (hybrid, coupe, sedan), but they’re all that color.
What gives.

Haha yeah. I like it better than the plain silver, it’s like gun metal.
I can finally join the oppo cruises! Or I’ll make a friend with Mr2 come and passenger it.

Nice buy, so clean!!!
Is that a later generation grille that I spy?
ETA: Nope they came with that grille too in 2004. Huh, don’t think I’ve seen one before!
