Of a 2006 Civic LX auto in Black. Was thinking about waiting for the 07 Sedan Si, but figured it wasn't really necessary. I wanted the extra hp but that was it. Plus, I'd have to take a cut in gas. Driving 80 miles round trip a day to work/school was killing me on gas.

Anyway, bought my LX yesterday for $18,100 OTD. I was happy. I only got $3000 for my trade in, but I was just happy for that gas-guzzler to go.

Going back for chrome exhaust tip this week and getting tints all around (probably legal 32%). Next week I upgrade the battery, do big 3, then put in my Alpine iva-d300, jl 1000/1 and 12w7, set of rainbow 6.5 components and alpine 100x2 amp to push the fronts.

I'll post pics as I go. Don't have time for pics right now, just excited and wanted to share.

2000 Ford Explorer 4-door. Engine was good. Cosmetically it wasn't too bad. Cracked windshield, one dent. Both easily repairable. Trunk area was kind of beat of from years of putting my bike in and out.

Being a Honda dealership I didn't expect much. I was hoping for closer to $4000. Oh well, it would've taken forever myself to sell it.

On the Explorer you only got 3k for it? My parents sold their 01 Explorer and got 8g's for it, when the dealer would turn around and sell it for probably 10-11k. It was a Eddie Bower explorer plus 70k miles. What about your explorer? Oh and congrats on the LX.

2000 XLT with 125k miles. Big difference in BB because of miles alone.

Congrats

Thanks. Going in tomorrow or Wednesday for either 32% or 20% tint but no darker (see inside & out post for giving me advise).

Next week I begin installing the stereo system.

When it's all said and done, though, I'll be happy.
