1998 toyota vs 2001 honda?
I'm in between cars and my parents are strongly rooting for one I jus want to know your opinion. 1998 toyota avalon 120+ mileage, 2000$ or 2001 honda civic 120+ mileage also 2000$. Fam is rooting for toyota, what do you think and why?
They are both junks
Go for the civic. It's smaller, it's not too hard or expensive to repair. It's newer, and better on gas. You can't go wrong with Toyota or Honda. But I think you'll like the civic more. The Avalon is on the base of a luxury car, which means more money. Do what you like, but the civic is the winner.
My cousin has a 2001. It's been hit, poorly taken care of, 200, xxx miles and it's STILL his everyday driver.
$2000 not 2000$
toyota, but have both looked by a mechanic, too which is in better shape.
The Honda will get substantially better fuel economy. We just sold my Daughter's '99 Accord with just shy of 300,000 miles on it. I have had two other Hondas that made it to the 300,000 mile mark with nothing but basic maintenance. I currently own two Toyotas, but if I were in the market for a car for my younger daughter, I would go with the Honda if both cars were in similar condition.
I have owned 3 Toyotas and 3 Hondas. All 3 Toyotas ran when I sold them or gave them away and all 3 had nearly 300,000.
All 3 Hondas went to the junk yard or scrap metal. One had nearly 350,000 miles on it, one was T-boned (wrecked) the other was simply worn out with 450,000 miles on it.
My opinion on both are about the same. Your problem is your not comparing apples. Your comparing an apple to a pomegranate.
The Toyota Avalon is a car that yells out to people "look at me, I'm prestigious, arrogant and better than you" while the Honda Civic goes through life doing what a car is suppose to do, transport you from point A to point B and back to A with no fuss or "look at me" attitudes.
Personally, I would go with the Civic. But I'm a practical person and not a show boat. Question is, are you?
Honda Civic
Condition of the specific car matters way more than brand name when they are that old.
- Honda CR-V, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, or Toyota RAV-4? I will be purchasing a used car in the upcoming weeks. I have been saving up money from my summer job and currently have about $4000 to spend. Which vehicle do you think I should get?
- Would v6 Honda Accord 1998 front bumper fit on a 4 cylinder Honda Accord 1998? I have a 1998 4 cylinder honda accord. If i purchase a 6 cylinder bumper would it fit? i'm trying to purchase this one. http://www.amazon.com/..._pC_nS_ttl
- Will the 2000 honda civic fog lights fit a 1998 honda civic? I don't wana do a conversion can i just cut the bumper where you normally install them for a 2000 honda civic
- I have a 1998 Honda CRV with 240 K miles. Needs $1200 of repair to pass inspection. Should i fix or buy a newer used Honda civic? Mike? I'm the original owner and have done a good job with oil changes etc. However, it needs 2 front control arms with ball joints and rear struts to pass inspection. I've also gone past my mileage on a second timing belt (first one done at 90K miles). Car body exterior and interior is in pretty good shape. Inside looks brand new. But repair cost at 1200 + timing belt ~500 =~1700 in repars. Is it time for a newer used auto.
