Description
Overview: This 2002 Honda Civic LX Coupe features a 1.7 Liter Four Cylinder engine achieving 26 City / 34 Hwy MPG. It has 196,000 miles and a rebuilt title (previously salvaged).
Condition: No mechanical problems or warning lights on the dashboard. It passed a smog inspection on 1/30/26. Registration is included in the price with no extra fees. Drives very smoothly with good brakes and rotors.
Features and Flaws: All components work as intended, except for the driver-side window which is unplugged due to a slow motor. Tires have plenty of tread for safety.
History: Great 'A to B' transportation with no hidden issues. Ready for a new owner looking for a reliable daily driver.
Market Highlights
- The Budget Floor: In 2026, the market for vehicles under $3,000 that are mechanically sound and smog-compliant is extremely tight. Hondas of this era remain a top choice for buyers prioritizing low entry costs and fuel economy over modern tech or aesthetic perfection.
- Regional Demand: Southern California commuters value the Civic LX for its impressive 34 MPG highway rating. Even with a rebuilt title, a rust-free California body and a recently passed smog certificate add significant liquidity to this specific price bracket.
- Title Impact: While a rebuilt title usually deters luxury buyers, in the sub-$2,500 market, buyers are often willing to overlook it if the vehicle is mechanically sound and smog-ready, as these cars are viewed primarily as utility tools rather than long-term investments.
