Well my sister's boyfriend stopped by yesterday on the way to the cottage and before leaving he wanted me to come out and see his new civic that he bought. Seeing as how he already own's a Caddy I expected to see a 4th gen with rust but instead saw a 97 civic cx hatch.

Now comes the amazing part, I asked him how much he paid in total for the car, cert and emissions since he had just picked it up from there.It only cost him $1900 on the road I couldn't believe it.

Now the reason he got it so cheap was because the km's read 504039 on the odometer. Can you believe that this is the original motor and auto tranny with just regular Honda service done. Nothing has been rebuilt and the car stills runs like it's brand new.

I wanted to share this cause I've never seen or heard of a civic with 1/2 million km's on it.

I just wish he had given me the chance to buy it first

That would have been a nice start to set up a Type R

He'd have to drive pretty fast to make it to florida everyday lol

Yep, flordia is like 24 hours away drive isn't it. But if the pervious owner was a courier, that car must be in "like" new condition.
