We spotted this 1995 Honda Civic EX coupe on Cars.com in October 2022, for sale at a classic-car dealer for $39,995. That is a lot of money for a Civic, and the reason was the mileage: our original notes record just 5,601 miles. The ad is gone, but we keep the record for anyone trying to price a low-mileage fifth-generation Civic.
What this car was
A two-door EX coupe in a teal-green pearl paint, with a grey interior. The listing photo shows it inside a dealer showroom on a checkered floor, behind a rope barrier. The paint, trim and factory wheel covers all look like new, and there are no signs of the fading or chips that most Civics from this era picked up long ago.
The original ad text was lost when our old post went through an article spinner, so the color, the price and the mileage are the facts we can stand behind. Equipment and service history were not recorded.

Was $39,995 a fair ask?
That depends entirely on the mileage being genuine. A Civic with normal miles from this era sells for a small fraction of this price. Near-new, low-mileage examples of ’90s Hondas have become collector items, and buyers pay big premiums for them. At $39,995 the dealer was pricing it as a museum piece. Documentation proving the miles and the car’s history would have been essential at this level.
A little Civic history
The fifth-generation Civic arrived in 1991 and was sold in North America for the 1992 to 1995 model years, as a hatchback, sedan and coupe. It was larger and more aerodynamic than the car it replaced. The EX sat near the top of the range and used a 1.6-liter VTEC engine. The fuel-saving VX hatchback also belongs to this generation.
