Gotta love the rattle-can paint job and mismatched rims! Really completes the whole early 2000s "Civic" vibe. In all seriousness, this car would clean up half decent. I'd give it a thorough clean and just keep driving it.
Hard life! Looks like a 300k mile car. You can bet that toggle was to arm the nitrous which based on their handiwork...prolly sprayed directly into the cabin.
People are too lazy to try selling it themselves. They would rather just drive it into the junkyard for an instant cash sale and be done with it. But that's ok because it helps Jay make some money. But really... Craigslist isn't that hard to use.
Sounds like Jay paid 200 for it. From the perspective of the owner, he could either list it for 500 and get talked down to 400 after months online or just drive it to the boneyard and get 200 instantly. I understand why
BigWheel Yeah I’m definitely familiar with the VP. I looked at an ‘05 as a work car just a year ago or so. I went with an ‘04 Corolla LE instead. Believe it or not they were about the same price. In similar conditions. Although the Civic was a bit rougher.About the same mileage too.
@@chrish5018 yeah the corolla is a better buy in my opinion, I have my eye on a 90s corolla wagon with a manual in my area as a winter car since my daily doesn't have rust.
Walmart Fast & Furious special. Used to be a dime a dozen in my town until they traded them for their Subaru Legacy's with chopped exhaust and universal rims
Well damn Jay. This was one of the most entertaining things I've seen all week 👌 You had me dying laughing at the defrost and climate control 😂 too funny
Just discovered your channel! It's GREAT! Been binge watching. I'm close to securing some property here in central Florida for buying and selling used cars. Been a dream of mine for a long time. Would love to have a scrap yard some day. Keep up the great videos.
I've got a 97 Accord Wagon. . It's kind of crappy to and unfortunately, it's an automatic. . But it's my daily driver and dead reliable. . I never skim on the maintenance. . But the paint and interior is getting fairly weak.
I don't think that's a tweaker car. . First of all, it has over a half a tank of gas in it. . And they wouldn't have replaced the Overflow bottle. They would have just kept adding water. . In my humble opinion
Don’t crush it. I had a 2000. Ran great at 311,000 when I bought it. Drove it for a year & sold it. It’s still running. I would buy another one. Love that generation.
I wouldn't mind having that Civic. I'm 18 and I need something to drive back and forth to school and work and that thing would be perfect! (If it only it was a stickshift..)
This car, here in Brazil, coasts aprox US$ 2000.00, in razoable condition, manual or automatic. But the Brazilian versions, was equiped whti all electrical windows, and tacomether in dashboard, since basic/simple version. This is very simple, but is mechanical is good, already the body is ugly. Cosmethic problems, easy solution So, he is funniest car. Ideal to play
I agree, that would make someone a good beater car. But what about doing a little work to it and selling it at a higher price? I'm guessing that as common as those are, you've probably got a hood for it at the yard, and I'd fix the exhaust leak and the sketchy upper rad hose...sell it for $1,200
I work for honda A Honda civic never dies people love the civics I cant tell u how many I sold its freaking crazy and I have a civic similar to yours I have a 98 Honda civic LX I use as a crash derby car lol
The mechanic shop i go to has a 96 i think civic with a 5 speed but its been wrecked in the front but was wondering how hard it would be to throw it in a pro 4 dirt race
I owned one of its luxurious Canadian twins in the form of a '98 Acura EL 1.6 with the d16y8 Lil baby vtec .. Even tho it was autotragic the damn thing was great to drive and super comfy. Also you can't beat that Honda starter noise.
Hell I would buy it and go junkyards and get all parts and make it good again and things that it was missing butt 500 I bet this junkyard didn't pay 500 for that car when it came in . But who knows .
@@MXguy95 I wont argue my dude, but i find civics just to be a little more torquey and fun to drive. Not to mention the wide aftermarket parts variety worldwide. Bottom line tho, both great cars. Cant go wrong with either👍
Dang why do people do that to vehicles they just junk them especially ones that look decent like this one and drive and run and everything I Just Junk them for no reason when they could have just sold them . Unless doesn't have a title but hell still. Gezz people just give up or don't care . Gonna junk a vehicle that came in running and driven damn
After jay said it’s worth $300.00 then he says it’s for sale for $500.00 lol. Is that the junkyard markup price? Not that I’m complaining, a running driving Honda for 500 bucks that isn’t all dented up and rusted out isn’t bad.
I've worked on a lot of these Civics. If that fell into my lap i'd put that motor in another car that looked better. That one body wise looks like it was rode hard put away wet.

There is something that I just love about the sound the starter makes in that Era of Hondas.
Thought it was just me lmao. I have a '99, reminds me of a motorcycle. The 94-97 Accords had similar-sounding starters too.
Yeah theyre very unique. When I hear it I know.
Ret det det VROOOOOOOM
@@pod9363 who else herd this comment in there head
This is the most Civic review of the most Civic, Civic that ever Civicd, i love it.
“And then you *floor it* “ as a Honda owner that’s pretty accurate
Hold On Not Done Accelerating > HONDA
@@newjerseybill3521 xD this made my day
in 3rd gear, to the floor RPMS raising past 5k, come on VTEC kick in LMAO
That beeping sounded like my kitchen timer. Thought my cake was done baking.
my microwave timer
Typical old civic. Rode hard, put away wet and still runs like a top.
It deserves to be rescued even if it’s a base civic with an auto
Gotta love the rattle-can paint job and mismatched rims! Really completes the whole early 2000s "Civic" vibe.
In all seriousness, this car would clean up half decent. I'd give it a thorough clean and just keep driving it.
All late 90’s civics have that distinct smell and the beep is very nostalgic.
I remember that beep from my moms 03 odyssey
Hard life! Looks like a 300k mile car. You can bet that toggle was to arm the nitrous which based on their handiwork...prolly sprayed directly into the cabin.
watchingitallhere on an auto?? 😂
300k just getting broken in ..
That radiator hose is terrifying. One freeway drive away from exploding.
Now THAT is a Beater!! Why wouldn't the previous owner not sell it for $500 instead of junking it?
Right
People are too lazy to try selling it themselves. They would rather just drive it into the junkyard for an instant cash sale and be done with it. But that's ok because it helps Jay make some money. But really... Craigslist isn't that hard to use.
@@Midnight_Dark yup people are lazy fucks. But hey that means more money for those who aren't.
jwarehouse1 they needed crack or meth or heron money

this guy just just goes into a whole different mode when he sees a honda civic
You scratched and won! A beautiful 1997 Honda Civic! Congratulations! Keep playing for more chances!
Its Probobly a VP which is pretty much below base, no options or anything
VP = Value package for reference
BigWheel Yeah I’m definitely familiar with the VP. I looked at an ‘05 as a work car just a year ago or so. I went with an ‘04 Corolla LE instead. Believe it or not they were about the same price. In similar conditions. Although the Civic was a bit rougher.About the same mileage too.
BigWheel Oh quick update. I looked up the VP at the place I saw it. It’s still there. Go figure.
@@chrish5018 yeah the corolla is a better buy in my opinion, I have my eye on a 90s corolla wagon with a manual in my area as a winter car since my daily doesn't have rust.
I can tell you are having fun driving that. :)
Looks like it has an Earl Scheib paintjob "I'll paint over any manufacturer's plate for $99" 🤣
Walmart Fast & Furious special. Used to be a dime a dozen in my town until they traded them for their Subaru Legacy's with chopped exhaust and universal rims
i would take a legacy over a civic with a wide smile
Cant wait to buy it from you so i can chop the rest of the exhaust off and floor it to the gas station at 3 AM
That sounds like a plan! Pay in cash and I help you do it before you leave ! lol
His knowledge of civics is amazing
Those Honda's just don't die
Well damn Jay. This was one of the most entertaining things I've seen all week 👌
You had me dying laughing at the defrost and climate control 😂 too funny

meh. change the bulged out rad hose, muffler cement the cat leak, and then drive er until it falls apart.
Ain’t gonna lie that civic is real tempting to get lol
The budget fart can, just chop the cats haha.
New lights, rattle can touch up, fix door panel, and clean her out.
Ah yes the tweaker special
Bruh. 😂
I don't think that's a tweaker car. . First of all, it has over a half a tank of gas in it. . And they wouldn't have replaced the Overflow bottle. They would have just kept adding water. . In my humble opinion
"New battery, new alternator, new overflow tank and a certified thrashing by Jay through our yard!!"
Did you win anything today in the scratch off lottery?😆
Definitely a keeper! It deserves to go to a good home!
throw in the lighted toggle switch and i'll buy it
Deal
Don’t crush it. I had a 2000. Ran great at 311,000 when I bought it. Drove it for a year & sold it. It’s still running. I would buy another one. Love that generation.
best gen 😂 my last ek had 670k
I wouldn't mind having that Civic. I'm 18 and I need something to drive back and forth to school and work and that thing would be perfect! (If it only it was a stickshift..)
This would make a great cheap first car.
Oh for sure pup
I love Honda! they run forever and easy to work on typically
I have the same car, but factory black, power everything, and 5 speed vtec. But 350k lol
The scratch off civic. The poor man's powerball winner. Love those year civics.
Honda Civics never die even when they are not looked after
10th digit of the VIN is the year 0 through nine is 2000 - 2009 before and after that it was alphabetical so a Z would be 1999, an A is 2010
My dad used to have a blue 96 lx 5 speed but he junked it a few years ago 😕
I have an idea for your next video. Power washing the crv lol
98 civic dx the same as my car it's just i have a 2 door this is a 4 door
This car, here in Brazil, coasts aprox US$ 2000.00, in razoable condition, manual or automatic.

So, he is funniest car. Ideal to play
Great video
It's got the halfway bumble bee exhaust......rev it high and listen to it pop!😂😂
That car just needs a little love. Would make a pretty awesome project.
Daniel's Car Talk Channel track car only

Did you when the Scratch off lol
Put some money into that Civic and your good to go .
I love the EK design

You're laughing cracks me up lololol

172k miles literally is nothing. my 2008 civic has 196k miles on it and still runs and drives very well.
Honda power
it would make for a great yard car for the shop lol
This has to be the best video yet XD
totally worth $500 if it runs and drives that good.

the reason the interior lights do not work is
the dimmer switch.
I kinda have a soft spot for early 2000s Hondas..that will make someone a nice beater..even with the backwards heater lol
Toggle switch is for kicking in the Vtec, broh...
Never could go wrong wit a Honda. I had a 87 Honda prelude. It was a nice car except for the exhaust manifold was steaming hot. Traded it
Jay you like this car...you should keep it!
Its and auto. No thanks lol
I'll take a Saab 9-3 if you have any :)
Would make a good 1st car for a 16yr old.
What kind of engine does the roll ack
That civic is in pretty good shape
My cousin kept his 2000, 5 speed, for 19 years, wife begged him to get new car, finally this past Nov. Was worn out, ready for a 'kid' to beat on it.
I was gonna say 1996 LX model because I have one but mine has an RPM gauge and my gauge lights did not work Had to get a dimmer switch
Honda civic. The most bulletproof car in the world
SECOND to a toyota corolla ;)
@@MXguy95 I wont argue my dude, but i find civics just to be a little more torquey and fun to drive. Not to mention the wide aftermarket parts variety worldwide. Bottom line tho, both great cars. Cant go wrong with either👍
the k frames on these civics can rot out that's why you don't see them in the northern states.
I would love a clean EK DX. Never gonna happen because all the rice cookers picked em up.
Sadly fewer and fewer stock ones are left.
Okay yeah you got me when you was checking the year. Horrible noise
You could easily get another 300k out of that
I mean rough but still driveable
Dang why do people do that to vehicles they just junk them especially ones that look decent like this one and drive and run and everything I Just Junk them for no reason when they could have just sold them . Unless doesn't have a title but hell still. Gezz people just give up or don't care . Gonna junk a vehicle that came in running and driven damn
No VTEC kicked in, yo!
I might get it
Find out what that toggle switch does please
Jay if you could have any car(s) you wanted, money is no object, what would it be?
“The hood didn’t close that’s cool”
Saved this car
After jay said it’s worth $300.00 then he says it’s for sale for $500.00 lol. Is that the junkyard markup price? Not that I’m complaining, a running driving Honda for 500 bucks that isn’t all dented up and rusted out isn’t bad.
I got my first car from theTurd Lot from a Junkyard it was a 1979 green Granada 2door it was an Auction car back in 1990.
Ahh I love the Granadas!
“How neat is the garbage”
My cousin has a 2007 Honda Civic! Also one of my moms siblings drives a 2018 Honda CRV.
They are good cars mostly. These older ones cant be beat
@@MXguy95 Judging from this car, they can be beat - like a rented mule. And beat HARD!
Did you one buy it?
Worth saving
Click,clack buttons 🤩🤩🤩
What ever happened to that 7.3 diesel at
Does your yard resale cars/trucks brought in to scrap? I forget where you located I keep thinking spartanburg or greenville
Great project car for a dad and teenager to tinker with. Someone please rescue it.
Rice rice baby
It would be a great first car for some kid
Surprisingly rust free
9/10 the head gasket is blown
You can easily make way more than 500 by parting it out.
At least they kept the Haggard Garage sticker from the passenger side of the dashboard before they scrapped it.
I've worked on a lot of these Civics. If that fell into my lap i'd put that motor in another car that looked better. That one body wise looks like it was rode hard put away wet.
