[YVR] FS: 1992 Honda Civic Hatchback (B18C JDM -Swap)

[mc120713]

Why I’m selling the car:

I’m 25 years old and this past fall I got married. Seeing as my wife is a full time UBC student and both of us depend solely on my entry level salary we decided to that it didn’t make sense financially to increase the amount of our student loans for the convenience/fun of a car. I’ve listed the car for $2500 OBO which I believe is extremely reasonable as the engine and transmission in this car alone could sell for anywhere between $1,400 and $ 1,700. Additionally the performance upgrades and the condition of the shell (no rust) undoubtedly make the car a great deal at $2,500. Having said that by discounting the car I’m hoping to avoid the painstaking process of selling a car on Craigslist which as we all know includes meeting with tons of potential buyers and receiving countless messages from dumb people offering outlandish / ridiculous trades. That being said please only contact me if you are seriously considering buying the car. I’m more than happy to answer any and all questions that you have about the car via phone or email. If you want to set up a time to view the car an appointment can easily be arranged. Please note however that the viewing appointment is not a time to find out “the car doesn’t have A/C, something you require in your prospective car”. I would greatly appreciate it if the viewing appointment was used to inspect the mechanical condition and operating functionality of the cars engine and other various components. Lastly, do not contact me or request a viewing appointment if you are not willing to pay at least $2,000 for the car as offers below this will not be entertained. The following comment does also not constitute a new selling price, it is simply an absolute bottom line figure in terms of offers I would consider.
