Shady???

Hey, my girlfriend found a 2004 civic on autotrader for $10,500 with 5,400 miles on it. He said he was a nonsmoker, and the car is in great condition. He only drove it work and home, he does construction, but never used the vic for it. Im going to look at it with my girlfriend today at 6. I was wondering if the price sounds kinda shady, or if everything sounds alright? http://autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ca...=en&cardist=17 Post up guys

Go for it! When you get there and see the mileage though, it might say 54,000.... hahaha. Anyway, yeah, inspect it really well but it SEEMS like a great deal.


I found a nice local Miata for $4500, it looked shady of course, but less than a day later, it was gone. So, it is your choice... take it or lose the oppurtunity.

Okay... I just looked at the car with Holly. The car was in an accident. The guy baught it from someone who was gonna auction it. The car was hit on the front driver side. He replaced the quarter panel and the headlight and the bumper. The frame isnt bent. The car seems in good condition. One hbcap was cracked. The seatbelt was jammed, and the airbox was cracked also. He said he would fix all that and sell the car for $10,000 even. Help me out guys, thanks.

ohhh... in an accident. I was thinking that might be the reason. Well, I would get it. If it wasn't major, than it is worth it. If only I had the cash...
