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

    And you never bothered selling it? If someone offered me that much I would take the arm off him.

    Out of curiosity is it a performance model(VTEC)? or a standard 1.3 or 1.6?

    Think he's talking about a 500SL

    Oh right, that makes more sense.

    You are right just looked back. I read the civic post and assumed he was replying to that.

    I sold a 96 one with 30k on it 11 years ago for that money. Still going strong, saw it driving around yesterday.

    I love when I see an old car of mine still going around. Spotted my old 99' Mazda 323 glx going around the other day, was chatting to the guy who owned it for the last few years and he said the only thing he had to do in 4 years was get a new coil pack and replace the tyres for the NCT! If only I was that lucky with the yokes I replaced it with :(

    90s Japanese cars were the pinnacle of reliability really...was a shame things went downwards after then.

    Those corollas were great cars, I had a 94 1.3 hatch back, when I sold it there was 280k on the clock.

    They better japanese brands are still among the most reliable cars though, I mean the corolla of today and cars like the civic etc are still very reliable cars.

    The corolla uses a well proven drivetrain and is a simple car mechanically by todays standards but may not have the sheer quality of it's 90's predecessor even though still very good.

    5k for an altezza in May is far from dreamer territory. It's a steep asking price alright but now is the time of year to ask it tbf.

    There's a ladeen on Facebook asking €4350 for an is200 now that's more like it for a dreamer

    (Un)fortunately big brother's no good for diffing..

    King of the cone/Donegal rally is on soon - lads will scramble to get into a 'cool' manual, diffable rwd in time for it.

    I see a 99 altezza on facebook for €7.5k this morning... madness but that's the market!

    Wheels look like they could do with a refurb.

    New front wing - so it's been crashed? Has a sniff of Category D off it.

    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.

    I know my english is not great, but it makes even me cringe reading it.
    As for dreamer... I dont know, is he? Its rare and high spec. I just dont know if there is market for such car anymore. No more third party piss take insurance anymore and no one who is pass 20 would ever drive something like that.
    I am pretty sure its uninsurable.
