I bought the lowest mile, wrecked auction Civic Si in the country

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I did say the parts car was going to fix the exact opposite car. I think a low mileage, manual, rust-free, clear title sport model is as opposite as you can get from an automatic transmission, rusty, 400k, salvage title commuter car.
I need a winter daily, so I found a fun one. Hopefully I can at least keep it through the winter. If not, I don't know how to price the lowest mile 2007 Civic Si in the country (by over 40k miles). It is also the lowest mile one in any salvage auction by around 100k. I may not even have to update that; I have been watching these for a while 100K is about the lowest I have seen and that was gone a long time ago.
It is an easy fix but a similar job to the Lexus IS250 we just did. This may give you some insight into how manufactures build their vehicles to accomplish the same thing but with different methods.

    Watching Scott work has almost caused me to have delusions of adequacy, but for now I'm sticking with mechanical fixes. I can't afford to drive $350 trucks if I don't do the work myself. Pine Hollow Diagnostics has helped me with electrical issues that I would have shied away from in the past.

Still running great at the time but since I was insuring 3 cars and could only drive one at a time I regretfully sold it! It was a great car!

    It's sad to see how many insurance companies will write off an older vehicle like this simply because in their eyes the payoff isn't worth the money input. We ran into it years ago with my parents really sweet 72 D100 that someone stopped in front of - all it needed was the radiator and support, but because it was over 10 years old at the time, they totaled it instead of having the front end pieces (that were plentiful in our area) replaced. I'm glad to see people like Scott take the time to restore these vehicles and get them back out on the road! If we had someone like Scott in our area, chances are the truck would still be on the road today since it had been babied all of its life.

When you were working on the boot lid I remembered an irritating thing about the boot lids of these cars is that the hinges protrude into the load section. When loading the boot, you always have to check that your luggage isn't in the way of the hinges. Other brands, like Volkswagen, have the hinges out of the way.
