im trying to trade my 1996 honda civic ex. Its a 2 door coupe and its got just over 151xxx miles and will continue to go up (its my daily driver). Its a 4 speed automatic transmission
i bought this car out of necessity needed a car to commute to and from college and home and got a steal of a deal. i found out it has the d16y8 1.6ltr which is a vtec motor.

i won't lie it's for sure a beater. I bought the car in need of CV joints. I replaced both half shafts its got a new radiator and fairly new tires(bought last summer). I replaced the waterpump and timing belt about a year ago. Ive had this car for almost three years now and i maintain it mechanically. This car happens to be very reliable and not once has it even let me down. It always starts right up and drives. Now i will say this it needs a few thing. It will need a new exhaust (catalytic converted rusted out when i bought it) but is drivable just a little loud. it has the check engine light on for a bad crank shaft sensor which i was told is built into the distributor but found out its not its a 25 dollar part. it still runs and drives just fine. It will need a radio bought it with it not working pulled it to find somebody tried to wire it for a new radio but never put it in? The driver side fender is a different color (came like that). It has very little of the typical honda rust just a little paint bubbling/chipping under the gas tank lid. The passenger side window only goes down about 3 inches before it will drop off the track. Ive been told the engine and frame are solid. ive had people offer to buy it simply for that reason. I guess people think it's worth buying for a project. personally i feel like with a little work it could be a decent car as is it would be a fine first car for somebody. Ide like to trade for something around the same. I understand it's a beater with a heater(cuz the AC don't work) I know im forgetting things but just ask and ill answer im trying to as upfront and honest as i can but again ask me. ******update*****i plan on fixing the exhaust in the next week *****update***** if not can include new one with car
id like something 2 door and sporty-ish. it has to be 5 speed manual (am not a fan of automatics) . really ill consider 4 door sedans if it's a vw or maybe an Audi but if its a 5 speed ill look at anything other Hondas (2 door accord) and Acuras are cool but i would prefer no civic hatches(im a big guy )other hatches are fine civic hatches are just small. eclipse talon of all generations cavaliers escorts dsm or jdm anything is fine. i also am into American made so just shoot me an offer
anything really im into cars in general ill look at any 5 speed.
may have a little cash to go with trade if its worth it.
I will be clear i AM NOT looking for a project. Nothing that will take me more than a couple hundred bucks to fix but still needs to be turn key and go drivable. What i really need is a decent reliable 5 speed daily driver.
