I paid $3400 out-the-door.

Excellent condition KBB private party is $2860 and retail 
used is $4005.

The fuel mileage was a big factor in deciding whether to 
purchase or not. From www.fueleconomy.gov city and highway 
mpg (manual tranny only), and comparing to my 91 Civic:

93 Civic = 29 and 36 mpg laboratory; 6 actual drivers' lo 
and hi = 33 and 45 mpg
91 Civic = 27 and 32 mpg laboratory; 7 actual drivers' lo 
and hi = 27 and 39 mpg
