1993 Honda Civic VX Additional Info:
EPA rated for 49 mpg highway, I regularly get 60-65 with proper driving technique. This Civic has a lot of miles on it from commuting to work and long cross country trips, its never broken down on me. Still the best fuel economy of any non-hybrid car ever made. This Civic does have the common rear wheel arch rust setting in, but that can be corrected with some cheap weld in panels from fixmyrust dot com. Also has some front quarter panel damage from a deer running into me. I have a replacement panel for that which will come with the car along with a bunch or other spare parts.
Comes with two sets of wheels and tires, Kumho Solus on the original 13" VX wheels with very little tread left, and Nokian Hakkapelitta Studded Snow tires on 14" steel wheels. THese snow tires make the car invincible in the snow and ice. I made a 1300 mile cross country trip from Michigan to upstate Maine in a white-out blizzard with them and had no trouble getting to my destination even though there was 6-8" of snow on the highway.
The car runs great, starts up every time. It does burn a little oil, usually 1 quart per oil change. I have competed in the Green Grand Prix fuel economy event several times and won best in class fuel economy three times. The best recorded fuel economy I got was 117mpg over the 2 hour event. The car has been modified with a stop/start switch to aid in hypermiling.
This car is 24 years old and has close to 300,000 miles on it but its got plenty of life left in it. No warranty is expressed or implied, I am not a dealer so as with all used cars it is being sold as-is, no returns or warranty. Check out ecomodder dot com for my profile to see a detailed log of my fuel economy. Just search for VX kammback with deep roots. Good luck and happy bidding.
