But other than a fresh lick of paint (in a chav 'Spoon' spec) the car is quite rough around the edges, particularly the interior - which is the wrong one for the car. Lipstick on a pig IMO. If you are asking top money like the one above, it needs to be perfect. Missing seat rails, no NCT (regardless of what he promises), trim pieces missing etc. I stand by it - dreamer.

That DC2 is now worth multiples what I sold it for, even with all the extra mileage and everyday wear and tear. I've regretted selling it since I let it go. The EK shape has always been my favourite Civic shape, but I've resigned myself to never owning an EK9 Type R as the price of them is just mental. I would take a clean Civic SiR EK4 if they were reasonably priced, but the price of them is also hefty these days

The yellow is a rare original honda colour
(how is spoon "chav"?)
Rust done and undersealing complete
b16 engine build (if done correctly) is a big draw

Filling to the gunnels with anti rust wax when I bought it(and topping it up annually) made the difference, oil changes every 3000 k helped, that and it being a daily driver. I doubt it's 20k though. 10-12 maybe? Though the prices of them in Japan now... I'd get more selling it to an American or Japanese. Three years ago I put an insurance value on it at 7K and thought I was padding it a bit. Not now it seems.
