Selling my reliable and fuel-efficient 2002 Honda Civic HX 5-Speed Manual. Iβve owned it since 2019 and used it as a commuter to Oceanside and Foothill Ranch from LA. Now that I work remotely, I no longer need a commuter car.

Cylinder Head was rebuilt at 180K
Clean Title
No Check Engine Light
Cold A/C
38+ MPG
Manual Transmission β HX trim (limited production lean burn model)
Smog Certificate in Hand

π§ Noted Imperfections:
Front Passenger-Side Fender:
Replaced with a champagne-colored fender after a neighbor backed into the car. No structural damage β just cosmetic. I sourced the clean replacement from a salvage yard (silver wasnβt available). A can of color-matched silver paint is included if you want to repaint it.
Front Windshield:
Cracked on the lower passenger side from a rock strike during a trip to Oceanside. The crack runs toward the A-pillar but hasnβt obstructed visibility.
