Would love to give it a good roasting....probably too much body flex to make it credible though...would nearly need to be a tin top.

Amazing how car ads seem to have changed dramatically in a short space of time. Now they seem to focus on cost of ownership and financing and how they are saving the environment.

Mileage very low and looks clean and well cared for but seems a bit pricey to me alright..

That's what he tells me he paid. I've been in it and it's very clean and it runs smoothly. Whatever about the purchase price, he's certainly paying at the pumps.

JohnBoy26 · 06-05-2017 09:39PM

I think don needs to go back and look at what year he is in because this isn't worth next or near the asking price in 2017. It also seems to have rust on the sill which is extreamly unusual on these cars.

I can never help but feel suspicious of a service book with multiple entries in the same pen

bear1 · 07-05-2017 07:26PM

Such a pity that the engine is a massive let down.

Does being a 5 door make it more valuable ?

That quite expensive for a ST170. I have been eyeing them up for a while and a a dealer or two has another one up for roughly the same price but tbh nobody will pay that much for one which is why they have them up for sale for so long.

Not when some MK2s arent far off the price these days. All the other ones on DD are nearly half the price and less.

And then also the Mk2 is a so much better car.(apart from tax)

Quazzie · 08-05-2017 11:51PM

I know of a ST170 that was probably in better condition that struggled to make a grand. No one wants them.

JohnBoy26 · 14-05-2017 03:33PM

Not a massive dreamer but a civic that has no nct with the last two years and isn't a great example(imo) isn't worth near a grand. I bought a much cleaner example than this for the same money two years ago.

It also doesn't seem to have a full service history as has been made out, it just looks to be written into the book by someone with only one stamp visable in the photo, im not saying what's written in the book is false but it's not really a full service history that can be verified and is more akin to a tippex service history.

Also the pic of the underneath where the seller says there is no rust is a pic of the floorpan which almost never rusts on these civics anyway. It's the rear underbody that rusts the most on these and up at the front.

If it was €5k it would be a dreamer.

It's only worth about €400 in its current state

Toyotafanboi · 14-05-2017 04:14PM

I think in it's current state it's value is very close to €0.

The same can be said for most teenage cars with no tax or test. People just don't want them anymore. It's not like ten years ago when a 10-12 year old Toyota/ Honda was still worth 1500-2000 regardless of condition as people acknowledged that they still had the makings of a good car.

I'd say if you advertised that car for €100 enquiries from young lads With no money would skyrocket but you'd still struggle to find someone to actually buy it. With the advancements in car technology coupled with the "incentives" to get older cars off the road, what good is that Civic, or the many others like it to anyone?

Worth about that with a new NCT in my opinion. Echoing TFB, nobody wants em. Like, nobody at all

Good well minded examples of those civics still sell but there is a limited market for them. Getting €600-€700 euro for a good one of those is not impossible and I've seen two very low mileage examples go for over 1k recently.

I've been offered 14k sterling for mine. 1994 35k miles. Good nick (almost pristine, two or three tiny bodywork scratches).
