RE: Having an excellent Civic to sell 7-10 years from now

I don't Know but my car has only 56,320 miles and I only use Mobil regular oil 5 - 30 and I do an oil change every 3,000 miles. I don't like to run my car with DIRTY oil. 10,000 mile is a long way don't you think so.[&:] Plus my dealer told me to stay away from synthetic oil. Even my mechanic he used to work for a Honda dealer for over 30 yrs and told me the same thing.

Maybe put a 3M invisible bra on it? You can HARDLY tell they are on a still protect well.

Thanks guys. I ask some of my mechanic friends and they told me that I was insane and that it already will be a great car to sell because it's in such good condition.

Clean your engine bay once a week. It will do wonders for the looks of the car should you need to sell it down the road. Plus it will also make it a whole lot nicer to work on in the meantime.

You are so right buddy. Thats why when I purchase my Si I got it completely stock. No modifications at all. I'm just the 2nd owner. I don't like to purchase modified cars because you will never know what treatment the past owner gave the car. Most modifications are made for a reason to those cars more likely they think they are Fast & The Furious racers. [&:]
