Anyone have a Smart car?

Timing belt right out of the gate if it hasn't JUST been done. The Civic is a 200k mile car, but with over 100k miles, maintenance items get expensive - struts will likely need done soon, brakes are likely (second time), tires soon (second time). The driveline should be fine, but consumables all come due around that mileage. Do a Google search for Honda transmission issues - I think they had the solenoid pack issue sorted out by 08 - I think that was earlier like 03. I assume automatic for your daughter. $9900 seems a bit steep for a 100k mile car. I'd think that would really sell closer to $7500 or $8k if it's nice.

OK all you civic fans how reliable are they? I found a 2008 with 109k on it and they are asking $9,900 KBB says $10,754 is a civic with that many miles really worth it? What kind of repair issues should I expect?

That seems like an awful lot of money for that particular car. I don't like KBB or "blue books" at all. There is a huge difference between the value and what people are actually paying for them. If you asked me about that car I would say it is worth only $7k-$8k. I am cheap but I have a pretty good idea of how much things are actually selling for.

Is there an echo in here? :D
