Was that the highly-desirable "Nubira"?

I think i was more an issue of there being absolutely no name recognition for
the brand, therefore scaring the potential recipients due to their lack of
knowledge of said vehicle. I may have related the story here about my brother
trying to find a battery for it, and no one having any sort of application
information for the car - not FLAPS, Sears, NAPA, no one. He finally called me
and I told him to measure the battery, take the dimensions to wherever and have
them look up the group number, which he did.
I would have taken it for one of my kids, but I didn’t have time to go get it
nor did I want to invest the cost of having it transported. I do’t think it
would have held up well, either. From what I recall it was a real POS car from
the get-go.

Heh.
When my Mom stopped driving she had a late 90s Daiwoo that she bought
new. I think it had less than 5,000 miles on it when she retired it. She told my
brother to dispose of it however he wished, ideally giving it to one of the
grandkids.
He called me. I laughed. His kids wouldn’t take it. My sister’s kids, one of
which was newly married and near destitute as a starving grad school
student, also refused it.
He sold it on Craigslist, but I don’t recall for how much. It wasn’t much,
that I
know.

I have acquired my mother's car since she has aged to the point where she
really cannot use it.
It is a 2008 Honda Civic LX 4Dr.
A nice enough little commuter car. Cloth seats and no sunroof, thankfully.
Aluminum wheels, AC, power windows etc so most of what one expects
today. Dark gray colour.
The primary reason I decided I should get it rather than let it be sold, is that
it has about 14K miles on it and has never been winter driven. It has stayed in
the garage out at the lake every winter.
It is still out there and I likely will not go get it until April or later.
Now, my biggest problem is a shortage of parking.
