selling Civic in US
Need some help.. I am considering moving to Florida and wondered what I can
do with my 98 Civic. I am concerned about the following things:
1. speedo is listed in km/h (with miles below) and my understanding is that
to license a car in the US, it must be the other way around.
2. Can I sell it there when I want to get rid of it or will the speedo issue
require me to replace it with a US-spec one? I tried selling my Audi to
someone in Texas and when the checked with the DMV, they told him that he
would have to replace the speedo with a US one.
I guess that I could sell it here and then buy a new car down there but I
own this car outright and it only has 86K on it (1998) and is in excellent
condition.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

You may not have to replace entire speedo--just the plate or faceplate on
top of it. You might also find out if your vehicle meets the pollution
requirements. I live in CA and vehicles from other states can't always be
licensed in CA since CA's anti-pollution laws are really strict. Call the
DMV in Florida to see if that is an issue related to your vehicle. Also,
ask the service manager or parts manager at a Honda dealership if they can
sell you a faceplate for your speedo.

Just a thought...wouldn't the odometer be in Km as well? Would the DMV have
a problem with that? Would the new owner have to convert the mileage from
Km into miles when reporting it to the DMV?
