Theres a graphite finish honda civic hatchback at this used car lot and im wondering if its worth buying. Its automatic and cost $3000. theres no dents on the car, the only thing the person who owned it before put in new tailights and a exhaust system.

YOu could probably get a 98-2000 for that price from a first owner who needs to sell, be cautious and take your time, it will pay off.

I'd say no. Where did the car grow up? If in the North, Hell no.

98-2000

97,000 miles is a horrible time to buy a car. Thats usually right before it needs a major service (timing belt, water pump, etc.) If your good with tools and know how to repair these things buy it. If not l think you should look into private sales, you should be able to purchase a ej1 (92-95 USDM civic) for around 2,000. As long as the maintance has been done l would not be bothered if it had 180,000 on it.

l would offer 2600. Thats a good price for the car.

l am more worried about ''graphite finish'' & ''new tail lights.'' It is been painted? Why, because of an accident or someone who never took care of it? People who usually do little things like that to cars r kids who drive them hard & do not keep up maintenance. Is it salvaged? Try to find one private party, no accidents, stock everything including paint, & a mature driver. Good luck. Price is typical, a bit high. l would go for a '92-95 Civic EX (non hatch) with around 120k miles or less for that price range. l had a '94 & loved it. Good luck.

its a hatch.itll always cost more than a coupe or a sedan of the same year.thats because its more in demand for the kids & car enthusest.plus considering the year of it & then the miliage.its very good.for it was not driven too much in its16 years.it has less miliage then most 98-2000 civics that youll find..and its auto at that so u know it hasnt been raced out..just try lowballing on the price & see how much they will drop it..i saw its a good price as long as its still clean.and is certified..
