Hi Folks,

My girlfriend is close to buying a used Civic from an Ottawa Honda dealership. I'd really like to hear people's opinions.

1. Is it a good car?
2. Is it a good deal?
3. Should she expect a better price and/or financing options?
4. Should she forget it and keep looking?

Here are the details:

2002 Honda Civic LX
2-door Coupe
Silver
4 speed automatic transmission
96,000 km
2 year warranty included
Rust proofing included
Price: $13,500.00
Financing offered at 6.9% interest

I would appreciate any and all feedback!

Cheers, Alan

Well I think you can do better than 6.9% on a personal line of credit so you might want to explore that option. As well if you pay with a line of credit you can essentially pay cash and may be able to score an even better deal.

As far as the car, it is the same as I have with about 10,000 more km on it. I really enjoy it and it has been reliable thus far.

OH yeah if it has stock Firestones, those arent that good at all.

1) yes, that's a bias answer you should get. Civic is a reliable and lower gas consuming car.

2)Not worthy it according to the high mileage with that price, also a car close to the 100,000km you know the next maintance would be changing the water pump and timing belt and that's not cheap..

3)yes, you also can go to auto trader or else(private sell) for searching a used one..

4)If I were "she", I will forget it and keep finding...

hope this help..

Yeah that price isnt too bad.
I paid 17,000 for my 03 sport
Civics IMO are one of the, if not the, most reliable cars on the road today
