  i had a '97 Civic, basic DX, added air conditioning because i
knew i was going to be on the road at times in places where it
wasn't cool.  only cost an extra $500.  i paid $13,500 for it and
while it wasn't trouble free it was mostly issues because it was
stored outside and the exhaust system would keep rusting out.  i
had the brakes done a few times and the timing belt changed once
and then the regular fluids and oil changes.

  when i sold it just a few years ago the motor would start
right up.  i had mouse problems though because it was sitting
outside too much and i was hardly driving it.  and there was
rust starting up that would have needed to be fixed, and the
back end was in need of some work and a paint job.  sitting
outside in the sun that long just didn't do it much good either.

  still even with the mouse problems, when i put it out for
sale at the end of the drive i had someone stop in and ask 
about it and while i wanted 1400 for it he said 1100 and i
wanted it gone so i said ok.  but pretty much as soon as i
started it up he said he'd take it.

  it only had about 140,000 miles on it.  i haven't seen it
driving around but i wondered how he did with it.  the big
thing that was nice was that he was enough of a mechanic that
he could do a lot of work on it himself and that would save
a ton of money.  the main reason i got rid of it was that i
didn't want to put a lot more money into it to fix the 
problems and still be stuck not driving it much and it still
sitting outside.  insurance prices are rediculous so it just
made no sense to keep it when i was hardly driving it.

  it was a fun car to drive and i do miss it.
