Does 2002 honda civic lx have vtec?

Planning to buy one. Are there any problems or tips?

Nope, no VTEC on a LX trim level sedan. You would have to get into the Si coupe for the VTEC. Otherwise, the Civic LX is an extremely reliable, safe, fuel efficient and fun to drive automobile. Enjoy. Oh yeah, be sure you do not over pay. Run the specifics through Edmunds appraisal calculator to see exactly what you should be paying.

Just go to autozone and get you some vtec stickers to go on it. Thats what make a honda faster than a speeding bullet
