Question Found another civic, advice needed.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3181652698743368/
'07 Civic Si sedan, K20, 180k miles, $8,500.

This is the most (seemingly) decent priced Civic Si I've seen, and the fact that it's a sedan really works for me (insurance and all that.)
I guess I just have 3 questions:
  1. Is this a decent price?
  2. Should I wait until the economy settles down? (i already know the answer)
  3. Is there a better place to find cheap civics other than facebook and craigslist?
Thanks for your time!​​​​​​

Re: Found another civic, advice needed.

1.) No
2.) Yes
3.) Lately, cheap anything is hard to find. Get a less desirable one if you want it to be cheaper.

Re: Found another civic, advice needed.

It seems like 200K is the new 100k miles. Greedy A-holes listing their cars with 120K and more as "low mileage". I miss the good old days when it was just the occasional scammer on Craigslist and FB market place looking to rip-off people. Nowadays it's seemingly everyone listing their car is trying to gouge.

Re: Found another civic, advice needed.

FA5’s have always carried an irrational premium as well. You should be able to find a decent coupe for a few grand less than that. Insurance never really differed between coupe and sedan for me. On equal policies, my FR-S is actually cheaper than my old TSX.
