What year? Not that it matters because yes you did. I mean unless it is running 9's, then ok.

I hope it is in immaculate condition. I also hope it is a 2000.

I paid $8250 CND for my 98 DX hatch. 101,000km, mint condition, private sale. Used cars in Calgary tend to run on the more expensive side though.

Research like crazy while the warranty is still good. Plan everything out. Then as soon as the warranty is up start putting your research and planning to good use.

That is what I would do..
And if you got a 2000 mint condition civic from a dealer for 8,000..thats not bad. It is common knowledge that dealers charge more for used cars. Thats why you got a warranty. So don't feel so bad. I mean yes, you could have found one for a lot cheaper...but oh well.

Personally I think it's a deal, I paid 7900 for my 99 EX with 75K on it a year ago.

That's not that bad though, but I would have tried to talk them down a bit.

What color is it?
Taffeta White
Vogue Silver Metallic
Flamenco Black Pearl / Starlight Black Pearl
Roma Red

I bought a '97 EX coupe with about 65k on it for ~$8000 six years or so ago. My '98 EX coupe with about 87k on it went for ~$7000 five years ago. Both cars were from a Honda dealership and the '97 was a Certified Vehicle.

I'm modding my nice clean car, but it's no longer under warranty.

It's too late to do anything about it, as long as you're happy with your car.

I got my old 2000 civic ex back in 03 for 8000 with 51k on it. I was told I got ripped off, but I didn't think so at all. GL with your new car though!
