I'd hate to rehash an old thread, but... Would someone kindly quote
a prices that a dealer quotes for a Civic EX, and Escort GT. Also, I'm a
assuming that the MX-3 was the V-6, so go ahead and look that up, too. If
someone has one of those yearly buyers' guides that give a low quote price,
please quote them, too. Then find the the SC1 base price.
Thanks.
