Default selling 96 dx in sothern cali blown motor

Ok up for sale is my 5 speed 96 civic DX with a blown motor. (SKIP TO THE PRICE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE SOB STORY!!!) I bought it looking like it does right now :/ for $3,500. from a dealership (DOH!!!) I only had it for about a month and a half before the motor went bad. (Spun a rod bearing) I replaced all the rod and main bearings (cost me like $250!!!!) but not the crank or the rods (DOH!!! No money to do that part) so after I fired it up there was a knock (in cylinder 1) but because I had no money left to fix it I just drove it. I got about 150mi before one night I was driving my gf home and BOOM ce-rklacnk-edty-clak (comic book style) something broke. I’m sure there is cylinder scaring and all that so I’m not going to try to re-build it. And because I didn’t have a car I lost my job so alas here I am selling it in hopes to be able to buy some Junker to get me around for now. Also the CD player was just stolen. (No damage was done during the theft)

It has a cat back system don’t know the brand, I didn’t install it

It also has a cold air intake, wings west spoiler, aftermarket tail lights, and carbon fiber PAINTED mirrors (not real carbon fiber!) with led turning signals in them. (Not hooked up) there is some dents in the body nothing major. The paint is all good except on the trunk its oxidized where the spoiler did not shade. also 3rd gear and reverse in the tranny grinded a little bitnothing too serious.

I live in southern California 92544

I am asking $1000 OBO!!!! If you have an offer please let me know.

no sorry bro. im willing to let the whole car go for $1k thow along with all that tranny stuff you want

i dident note that the windows do not roll down (bad rubber) and the doors have "problems" locking and unlocking, motors are bad. cheap and super easy fix. i also forgot to put that it has an alarm onit with keyless entry (well keyless if you can get the motors for the locks to work) alos the front bumper is pretty messed up (like i sayed i live in sothern cali) it will stay on and all that, but you may want to look into getting a new one (allthow im sure you were going to do that any ways)
