For Sale – Girl-driven 2005 Honda Civic hatch back with sunroof and roof racks

13 February 2010 by YukonJen

What do you need to know about my car? That’s it’s for sale.? That it’s a 2005 Honda Civic Si Hatchback?  That it has just over 82,000 miles? Oh…it’s also a 5-speed manual transmission.

I just had a minor service, they guys at Automotive Excellence in Cotati said it was in good condition.

I have all of the service records, including two services I had in Calgary, Alberta and Whitehorse, Yukon.

The blue book value is $8,445.

Here is the CARFAX Vehicle History Report.

For such a small car, it is very roomy. Surprisingly roomy. In fact, when I was remodeling the bungalow and I had to transport a fireplace, the guys where I picked up the fireplace stood around and looked at me and looked at my car and shook their heads and said: “No way. No way will you fit the fireplace in that little car.You need a truck. You definitely need a truck.”

I said: “Pshaw. P-S-H-A-W! I once fit three 17-foot sea kayaks on top, three people, and enough gear for a three-day camping weekend in a Honda Civic hatch. I bet I can fit in that fireplace. Besides, if it doesn’t fit in, it will fit on top.” (Did I mention it has roof racks?)

So these big burly guys stood around harrumphing and betting that I couldn’t fit the fireplace in the hatch, but once they saw that it would fit, they all crowded around to help. “Well I’ll be…” I  heard somebody exclaim. “I’ll be..”.

Regardless. Most of those 82000 miles are highway miles. I bought this car in March of 2005 when I lived in Healdsburg and worked in Petaluma, California (70 miles round trip, daily).  Then, I lived and worked in Healdsburg for two years with little or no driving.

In 2009, I took it on a road trip to Canada. I drove it to Calgary, Alberta, then to Whitehorse, Yukon, then back again.

It’s a good little car. I love my little car. If I weren’t leaving the country, there would be no way in hell I’d sell it.

Here are the specs:

  • $8445 (KBB value)
  • Complete and verifiable service records.
  • Free of any major defects.
  • Clean title history
  • The paints, body, and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems.
  • No rust on this vehicle.
  • Tires match and have substantial tread wear left.
  • Air conditioning
  • Power steering
  • Power windows
  • Power door locks
  • Tilt wheel
  • Cruise control
  • Dual front air bags
  • ABS (4-wheel)
  • AM/FM radio
  • Single compact disk
  • Moon roof
  • Alloy wheels
  • VIN available upon request.

    I would be tempted, but my 1995 Honda Civic is still in excellent condition, even after 10 years in the NWT. Hondas are amazing. I would appear in ads for their company.

    Is that the model with the gearshift sticking out of the dash?

    Hi Andrew,

    Yes. The only other car I’ve seen like that is an Alpha Romeo. It’s quite comfortable actually.
