My Honda Civic 2007 has 300330 miles on and still runs like a champ clean title no rust always kept up to date still runs smooth never over heats or nothing interior 7/10 no rips or tears !
Thank you for explaining the speaker issue. It went out on my passenger side and after ripping it apart i assumed it was a water issue but I’m glad you confirmed it
Your comment about using and independent mechanic is absolutely spot on. Take your time and find a good one. Research on the net is a good place to start.
I have a 1999 Civic and it has 185,9xx miles on it. Serviced it every 3000 to 5000 miles. Still runs like a champ. Honda’s fun forever. Just depends on the person if they take care of it or not. Half the Honda’s on the road have a shit exhaust or it’s on the ground. My car is 💯 clean all stock and wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I have a 2007 Honda Civic Lx with 185,000 miles on it and I'm from upstate NY and my car doesn't have a spot of rust on it , and it still runs like new ,the paint etc is still like new never repainted either . I love my civic 8th gen . I'm posting this 3/22/21.
On a honda civic/accord 168k is nothing unless it is a neglected/abused car... if it has been driven hard but received regular maintenance it should easily make 220k. If it has been properly driven and cared for it should be a 400k car.
2006 EX, driven daily, 57,000 miles. Body, interior is mint. Couple of batteries, & had to change a turn signal bulb this afternoon. It's only 11 years old; I expect to keep it 20 years.
rbarr775 My 06 has 116000 miles and still running smooth. Probably keep it 20 years also. So far no crack block problem. Hope at this point I got one without this issue.
Bought the same car today. 140,000 miles and drives good. Has the same speaker problem, and the center console won’t stay closed, but is an all around great car!
My aunt had no issues on her 06 lx until 286,000 miles. The check engine light came on for the cat. She decided to trade on a new civic since she had almost 300k of trouble free use.
This gen problems, cruise control button, motor mount, center console lid latch, all easy fixes, I would buy again in a heartbeat, I got the 2009, I do know some of the earlier models had crack head problems, I called Honda and talked to them before I purchased mine and I think they said 2008 and newer didn’t have that problem, cant remember but I know 2009 don’t have it, just make sure to keep transmission fluid changed, I would do it every 50.000 but that’s just me and I’m not talking about draining 2 1/2 quarts refill mess, just remove transmission cooler lines and remove all fluid and replace, the engine is good for 300.000 plus easy, has steel timing chain not a belt
Four cylinder Hondas are among the best cars built for durability although I hear the new CVT is not making everyone happy. I owned one and got over 200,000 when I lost the transmission. The V6 Hondas (and Acuras) I got killed with transmission problems. 2001 Acura TL new transmission at 60,000 and sold the car when the second transmission went at 119,000. 2003 Honda Accord V6 first transmission went at 19,000, second at 135,000. Sold that car then. Now own a 2006 Saab 9-3 from 6 miles and just broke 144,000. Nothing major has broken just like on the Hondas (besides the transmission). While Honda made a reputation on durability, especially with the four cylinders, but other manufacturers have closed the margin. I think you can get good cars besides Japanese now. You just have to find it.
Toyota is solid. So is Lexus. After that, a number of Buicks seem to hold up now. Audi also does well followed by Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, and Infinity. Due to transmission issues Honda is now below all those brands as well as behind BMW which is incredible as they tend to have electrical problems after a few years. Acura is even lower.
Jordy, that Toyota will suit you well. Nissan be careful - they do have some transmission issues depending which model you get. Others are perfectly reliable. Refer to TrueDelta.com or Consumer Reports to get an idea on what models are what. Good luck.
Not bad and not great. My position on buying used car is as follows: I prefer for example 06 civic with 170k for 3000$ and sell it for 4000$ than buying same car with 100k for 5000 and selling it for 6000 for example. Why? Because you are pretty much getting the same car. By 100k is time when stuff goes and you still have to put in money, or buying with 170k when everything was replaced already. That is my own opinion ( I am a used car dealer for 9years now)
Sure thing some would say that in another 30k miles your car will have 200k and noone will buy it after that. But the truth is that you bought a car for 4000$ remember? And you will sell it for 3000 or 2500$ 100% especially japanese car. ( not nissan that thing just wont last that long) Most of my customers buy cars because of condition not because of the mileage. Again, this is my opinion. Because I am from Europe where 80% of cars are with rolled back mileage. So condition is the only factor in buying a car.
+Edgar Parfan correction Nissan still lasting....sure not like they use to be, that at one time they were lasting more than hondas.....Nissan is having reliability problems due to Renault sharing a few parts.....no European brand last at all
I really loved nissans pathfinder up to 2004 which was very very reliable. 2002 and up altimas have horrible transmissions and engines specificly head gaskets. Maximas where awesome till 2003 in 2004 and up engines and transmissions are shot in 7/10 cars. 2005 armadas and pathfinders and xterras have problem with valve bodys. I am just not a big fan of nissan anymore
I know this is an old video but dude that cars clean just the back seats have a problem come to Canada our cars get a beating cause the winter and hard driving
Didnt take care of it??? I have a 2007 honda civic in my garage with paint chipping off the top the bottom is all mud the rear shocks are done the rear bumper its scuffed and screwed on the headlights are foggy the radio dosent work the entire interior of the car is disgusting theres a hole in the top of the muffler due to rust and the bumper in the front is chipped and has Mark's all over it
Here's the Question to Honda? Why did a lot of 06,07,08&09 Engine Blocks crack?? Then the rest went over 250k. When I looked at these cracks it was almost like osmosis weeping through the aluminum.🐒
I bought my 2008 civic lx with 110k miles, and I'm having this issue with the key turning to start and the switch doesn't connect to tell the starter to engage (if the switch doesn't trip I get no starter). It only happens rarely, maybe once out of every 20 to 30 cycles. What could the issue be, anyone that can help? It does exactly what he experienced at 2:50.
Is $4700 for 2010 civic with 85.000 a good price. Body has some scratches and little dents, interior needs cleaning seats have covers, engine in good condition. Opinions please. Thanks
I got a 9th gen 2012 coupe lx 140000km with hail damage for $4300 which i am fixing slowly slowly while using it daily. I am thinking of keeping it as my daily beater car. Its a very nice car to drive around .
someone is selling same civic but with 140 000 miles, salvage... it is ok to buy salvage for a first experience? Not going to drive this far or even on the highway, just normal city driving... we have 2017 Civic for daily driving
IMHO... If the price is right you should get it... take it to mechanic and check current condition of engine and transmission... Salvage Rebuilt Civic now should cost around 2000$(in USA)
I have a 2007 Civic LX manual with only 115,000 miles. My main thing is the manual. I am so over the manual transmission. I want to get rid of it because of that issue. It runs ok i guess.
All 8th has 1.8 140 hp 128 cept si with its dohc 197 hp but only 139 lb ft torque lb ft .. but that just means you have to rev the f*** out of it which is half the fun of these 8th generations, the last true raw Hondas.. No stability traction control just a big tach temp and fuel gage in view.. The design of the split dash is awesome and 15 years old still looks cool asf and relevant
Chukwadi, I'm having a problem with my 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid with 191,500. Did you just keep driving until CVT failed completely. My car is still driving but has problems when my wife punches it. I still have original tranny. I would appreciate any advice. How much did your transmission jobs cost?
Was thinkin about buyin a 2007 civic dx, with 203000kms on I,t from a guy. Took it for a test drive yesterday. It was loud while drivin. Guy says it was the tires. I didn't hear anything comin from the engine like manifold or flex pipe noise. Curious? Could it be the tires?
Also the driver door takes on the catch when closing and opening. Not sure about the others. There's some up and down movement. You can lift the driver door up a little bit, and when it closes it rides up on the catch just before it closes.
+blackspider when purchasing a car you are the one who has to do inspection. Dont trust anyone. It could also be bearings making the sound. About door I would not worry, it is easy fix
Guy who's selling got the inspection done instead which is rare. Yup, the buyer is the one who's normally supposed to get it done. Think I'll pass on the car though cause paint on left front fender is fading, and there are 2 wire mended crack on front right bumper. Looking at a 2009 Corolla this week. Thanks!
quick question guys I know a guy who sells cars he said he has a Honda Colvin 07 with 165 thousand miles on it for 3,500 is it a good deal? advice me please.
