If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: lemon civic?
The prepurchase inspection didn't reveal any of these issues?
Lemon? Nah. You bought a USED CAR.
You now own all parts and problems of that USED CAR.
Did it come with a warranty?
Carfax fail?
See what the engine block code is.
See if the hood is still original to the car (VIN labels match?), then see what the emissions label says.
Run the VIN to see what it should have in there.

Shoulda looked a lot closer before you bought it then. Now you own it.
Fix it up and drive it. Or don't.
