FS: 1988 Honda Civic / The Perfect Beater - MARYLAND
-I'm selling my beater car. Its a 1988 Honda Civic with about 148K miles on it. Runs strong. Has some minor issues, but is reliable. It'll pass MD state inspection with a little bit of work. I'll ship it, but only at the buyer's expense. Here's the VIN; JHMED6346JS021435
-I'm thinking $750.
-I've been using this car to run back and forth to work. My father has recently given me his 2004 Impala since he can no longer drive. I certainly have no need for three cars.
In order to pass MD state inspection, the rust will need to be covered in some bondo. (I'll even include the bondo!) Currently the muffler is sitting in the trunk, so that'll have to be replaced. Other than that, it should pass.
Minor things that should be looked at;
When I first got the car, it had some kind of electrical bug. After replacing the alternator and battery, I think I narrowed it down to a loose ground cable which I then replaced too. That seemed to take care of it. I did notice that the battery terminals are getting pretty worn, so those should be replaced as well.
The driver side seat is tilted. This is because I had to bolt it down and I didn't have the correct seat rails. It looks stupid, but it'll pass inspection.
The driver side front corner panel needs to be replaced.
The windsheild washer resevoir needs to be replaced.
Other than that, its in great shape considering its age. New battery, tires, alternator, Kenwood Radio, wiper blades, brake pads, and rotors. Starts up without a problem and runs strong.
