conn-e-rot Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 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?

jester3681 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 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.

jester3681 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yeah, Edmunds.com says about $8800 for a clean Civic, private party (I did a blue LX sedan). I use Edmunds TMV for car price calculations... it's been my experience that KBB is usually 10-20% high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks I thought that seemed rather high for that many miles but I've never owned a Honda so I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Might want to look into a Scion xD. Girlfriend's averages mid 30s mpg, 40+ on hwy. Safe, reliable(toyota powered), and should be able to find a good price on a 2008 or 09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
