Is a $4700 a good deal for 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan (Dealers and Carphile welcome)?
I just bought a car yesterday for $4700 after taxes, but something inside me I just got a fair deal. I was looking at KBB and it seems about an average price range. Not too cheap, not too expensive. I'm the type of person that likes to buy items at exceedingly cheap price (at least 50% of average price).
Please tell me what you think, on a scale of 1-10, 0 being the worst deal possible and 10 being the best deal possible.
Here are some background information:
-2004 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan.
-$4700 final price (after taxes & fees)
-From a dealership, though they seem reluctant to sell it.
-180,000 miles total
-No mechanical issues, no interior issues, only a single scratch at the back of the car.
-The stop and go pedal makes moderate squeaky noises, though the brakes were replaced at 140,000 miles.
-New tires (not sure when)
-New hybrid battery replacement at 140,000 miles (still looks full)
-Relatively well maintained, with an average oil and filter change of 4000 miles.
Overall, it is a good functional car. What I'm asking is do you think the price was cheap? And at what absolute minimum price do you think I could have gotten for the car (after taxes & fees)?
Caveat emptor
Seems kind of high for a 10 year old civic with that mileage. What kind of warranty did you get from the dealer? Did you negotiate at all with them?
Someone probably got $1500 of value as a trade in for that car and probably got scalped in buying a new car.
- What is there to do at the Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama in Tokyo? I'm going to Japan next year and I've heard this is a good place to visit. What is there to see there?
- Is this 2004 Honda Shadow Spirit a good deal? So this is my first bike purchase and I want some opinions before I go for it. The bike I'm interested in has been dropped on both sides, needs front brakes, a rear tire, oil change, and turn signals. It is going for $2000 and has 23K miles on it. It also has a Cobra exhaust system that the owner says is worth $450. http://ventura.craigslist.org/mcy/4577908483.html How much would I be looking at for repairs as well?
- Is it a good deal to buy brand new honda civic 2015 for $18000 OR brand new honda civic 2016 for $22,500? I chose 2015 honda civic for $18000 because I wanted to keep my monthly payments low. Did I save money here?
- Is a 2004 Honda civic with about 90000 miles selling for $5000 a decent deal? I trust the dealer selling it. The car is in clean condition. The mechanic says it is in good condition. Is the car worth it? I want a car that will be pretty reliable for at least 5 years.
