Anyone with any experience with this car? Reliable, Gas mileage?

Stumbled across what could be a incredible deal. A 2005 model with 22,185 miles, guy is selling it for 8200. Supposedly was his Grandma's car and she just passed and left it too him. Garage kept the entire time.

$8200 for a 2005? I don't care what the mileage is, that seems like forcible rape.

i'd give 5k for it, top dollar. Low mileage like that can almost be as bad as really high mileage. instead of excessive use, it's bad due to lack of use.

I bet it's still on original tires too. Those will definitely need to be replaced.

oldest trick in the book...they electronically rolled back the odometer

Now, if it was a Cadillac or Lincoln, it would be a little more believable

I bought a 07 Civic EX for my son. Paid 5800 and it had 70K miles.

Bring a OBD2 II EOBD Car Diagnostic Code Reader

Beware that there have been recalls on airbags for that model year.

And definitely get a carfax report to see if the mileage is legit.

But that is a Hyundai....not a Honda.

Price is outrageous though.

One oil change every 4 years can't be good. Unless she changed every 3k miles, which would be almost every 2 years.

Its a civic, obviously its above average in both of those categories.

8200

They only way I would pay that much for a 2005 civic is if it had 3k cash in the trunk. Also cars are not meant to sit for long periods of time and not be driven. Fluids, rubber, etc deteriorates over time and needs to be replaced.

And at the end of the day a civic with 22k miles is pretty much the same as one with 100k.

Offer $7500. He'll take it, and you have a solid used car.

I would hope a 2015 Hyundai would be a better choice over a 2005 Honda
