I think the daughter is a little older than you are thinking. I have
never met her, only talked to her mother once by phone and my mother
is moving so I wouldn't expect to ever hear form them again.

3 to 4k for a 90 civic dx?

I was thinking of asking 4k for my 90 Integra LS with 74k miles... maybe I'm
thinking too cheap?

Vinyl interior and 4-speed manual indicate it is a "base" model,
not even a DX (which has cloth interior and a 5-speed manual).

Why not just put it in the pricing web sites and then subtract the
cost of any needed repairs (like replacing the 10+ year old tires,
fixing the idle, fixing the holes in the seat, and pushing out the
dent) to get an estimate?
