Hi, I'm a nooby at hondas and I was looking into buying a civic. Are there things I should look out for on the civic? Whats a good price for a good running civic? thanks in advance for any answers.

 

Make sure its a coupe

 

well a good tip of advice is when going to look at a civic
dont be afraid to ask MANY questions.

for the body, check for any rust spots or signs of paint bubbling

motor-wise, ask many questions, mileage, mostly highway or street driven, how often oil changed, timing belt, brakes, tire condition etc.. etc...
and if you take it for a test drive listen for any noises in the suspension and engine noises

and once your done all your questions and find any flaws, then reason on a price

 

forgot to say but im looking for a D16 vtec.

hey, to add to this. what are the consequences of little air bubbles under the paint? i found this one hatch i as gonna buy but the fender .. at the tip, there is a few ltitle bubbles. what causes that? and what consequences does that cause? he said he just painted the car about 6 months ago, wut could that cost me to fix and how much can i pull the price of the car down because of the bubbles? thanx!

 

check out the rear wheel well and surrounding quarterpanel, civics get really bad cancer in that area because of a rubber trim piece holding moisture, will wear right though the body

 

so how much does ti cost to get rid of bubbles?

 

~3 for good condition.

Watch out for rust over the rear wheel wells.

And the clusters are easy enough to change out, so carfax the VIN might be in order :-\.
